Canada Immigration Fees Increase
Effective April 30, 2020 Canada immigration fees will increase. If you plan to immigrate to Canada you will have to pay a number of fees to process your application to become a permanent resident.
According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) these fees have not increased since 2002. And because there have been no increases, the fees have not taken into account the rising costs to deliver programs and services. And in the, you can expect these fees to increase every two years based on the Consumer Price Index. So the next fee increase will be in 2022.
At this time, the fees will not increase for the following:
- Canadian Permanent Resident Card ($50 ): a wallet sized document that is issued to new permanent residents to confirm status in Canada
- Permanent resident travel document ($50): a travel document valid for one entry
- Certification or replacement immigration documents
