Processing fee for you and your family members
You must pay a separate fee for each family member who is included on your application and will be joining you in Canada.
If your application is complete, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will let you know and we’ll send your application to an IRCC office for processing. Once we start processing your application, we can’t refund your processing fee. Make sure you are eligible before you apply.
Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)
If we approve your application, you must pay this fee before you can become a permanent resident.
If your spouse or common‑law partner will be joining you in Canada, they’ll need to pay a separate RPRF before coming to Canada.
We’ll refund this fee if:
- you cancel your application
- your application is not approved
- you decide not to come to Canada
Other fees
You may have to pay fees to third parties for:
- your medical exam
- a police certificate
The instruction guide has more information on fees.
Submit your application
Make sure that you do not forget anything. If anything is missing:
- your application won’t be complete
- we’ll send it back to you without processing it
- you will have to fix any errors and resubmit it
Mail your package to the address in the instruction guide.
Do not send your application to any other processing centre or visa office.
