Fee payment schedule

All government processing fees must be submitted concurrently with the submission of the application for permanent residence. By contrast, the Right of Landing fee may be submitted at any time prior to the issuance of landing documents and is refundable if, for any reason, the applicant does not land in Canada.


Fee payment currency

Canadian visa offices will accept the payment of fees in Canadian dollars or in the equivalent local currency. It is recommended to pay fees in Canadian dollars, if it is feasible, because of currency fluctuations. Canadian visa offices set and change exchange rates from time to time and if you have not submitted the exact foreign currency your application will be returned to you causing a delay. At the very least you should consult with an expert in these matters, or seek instructions from the particular Canadian visa office as to the specific amount payable, the name of the payee and the bank upon which the payment may be drawn.


The Right of Landing fee


All adults immigrating to Canada must pay what is referred to as "The Right of Landing Fee". They may do so any time before landing documents are issued. This fee is fully refundable if for any reason the applicant or accompanying dependents do not land in Canada as permanent residents.

All adult immigrants must pay the Right of Landing Fee, even if the immigrant is in Canada.


Other fees or costs
The application process may include other costs such as those related to medical examinations and police clearances; translating documents into French or English; and business and real estate valuations in certain cases.
