Canada increases immigration processing fees from 30th April’24.

Categories Update, PR Applicants 0 Comments

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has declared that, as of April 30, 2024, all applications for permanent residency in Canada will cost higher immigration fees.

Since 2020, the IRCC has raised immigration costs every two years; the current price hike is larger than the one from 2022.

The fees increased by a relatively small amount, to approximately 3%, in April 2022. The new rates, which take effect on April 30, 2024, are almost 12–13% higher.

The new rate is based on the Consumer Price Index's cumulative percentage rise over the two preceding years (2022 and 2023), as reported by Statistics Canada, and is rounded to the closest five dollars.

All applicants for permanent residence are exempt from paying the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, with the exception of dependent children and protected individuals.

Under certain circumstances, principal applicants in the categories of "humanitarian and compassionate" and "public policy" are exempt from paying the Right of Permanent Residence Fee.

Family members cannot apply for permanent residency on behalf of the "Permit Holder" class. Those falling under this category are required to apply on their own as principal applicants.
