ICCRC Revised PR Fees

For more than a century, immigration has been a means of supporting Canada’s growth. Many people come to Canada to stay temporarily, in addition to those who migrate permanently (whether as visitors, international students, or temporary foreign workers). Regardless of how they arrived in Canada, everyone contributes meaningfully to the Canadian economy and the growth of various industries, as well as to Canada’s diversity and multiculturalism. Immigration has aided in the development of the country.

What is the cost to apply for a Canada PR Visa?

In order to manage increasing program and service delivery costs, the immigration department of Canada, i.e., IRCC, in collaboration with the government of Canada, revised application processing fees for PR applications under the economic, permit holder, family, and humanitarian classes, except caregivers.

Earlier the fees were revised by IRCC (for the first time since 2002) in 2020. It was announced at the time that fees would be increased every two years to account for inflation.

The changes made by the IRCC and the government ensure that Canada remains competitive and in line with fees charged by other immigrant-receiving countries. In most cases, Canada’s fees are significantly lower than those of countries with similar migration systems, such as Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Comparison of current applicable fees and the revised fees is as follows:
