If you're looking for a better life for yourself and your family, moving to a new nation is a long and complicated procedure capped with an expensive price tag, but the benefits are undeniable.



Canada's Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) mandates that most visa applications include a charge for government processing. Irrespective of where you're applying, processing fees remain the same.

Here's a breakdown of the costs associated with Canadian immigration:

1. Fees for Temporary and Permanent Residency

Payment to an authorized representative, in addition to the temporary or permanent residence application fees, is the combined fee you will have to pay. The number of family members accompanying the lead applicant will determine the number of processing fees. It is essential to know that IRCC may modify these fees at any time.

The cost of obtaining permanent residency varies based on whatever immigration route you choose. Approved visa applicants must pay an additional charge known as the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, which all applicants must pay, regardless of the programme they intend to apply to.

2. Single Applicant

A single applicant would have to pay approximately CAD 15,420 in fees, documentation, and other costs necessary to come to Canada. The fee structure consists of a language test fee of CAD 280-310, an IELTS test fee of CAD 310, CAD 85 Canadian for biometrics, a medical exam fee of CAD 250-300, an application fee of CAD 825, additional costs of CAD 200, and an amount of CAD 12,960 demonstrating the proof of funds.



Applicants employing the provincial program will have to pay an additional fee, depending on the province. This fee is CAD 500 for Alberta, CAD$ 1,150 for British Columbia, CAD 500 for Manitoba, CAD 250 for New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, CAD 1500-$2000 for Ontario, CAD 300 for Prince Edward Island, $350 for Saskatchewan, and no additional fee for the province of Nova Scotia.

3. Application For Couples And Families

A couple would have to pay about CAD 20,000, including the fee for demonstrating evidence of funds and government costs.

The fee structure consists of a language test of around CAD 560-$620, CAD 170 for biometrics, CAD 500 - $600 for medical examinations, an application fee of CAD 1,650, the right of permanent residence fee of CAD 1,000, additional costs of around CAD 400, an amount of CAD 16,135 to demonstrate proof of funds.

For families, immigration to Canada typically costs around CAD 30,000 per family of four, including everything from the evidence of funds to processing fees and other costs

The additional fees for provincial programs for couples and families are the same as those for single applicants.
