“The fee increases will apply to economic, permit holder, family and humanitarian classes.”
Canada is increasing fees for all permanent residence applications on April 30, a report in CIC News said.
“The fee increases will apply to economic, permit holder, family and humanitarian classes. In 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) increased permanent residence fees to account for inflation for the first time since 2002. At that time, IRCC announced it would increase fees every two years to adjust for inflation. All amounts are in CAD,” the report said.
According to a report in Economic Times, permanent resident visa processing cost differs according to the immigration programme you select to apply through. The fee increases will apply to economic, permit holder, family and humanitarian classes.
The fee for categories like, Federal High Skilled, Provincial Nominee Program and Quebec Skilled Workers, Atlantic Immigration Class and most Economic Pilots, is following

“The Right of Permanent Residence Fee for the applicant and accompanying spouse or common-law partner has been increased by CAD15 to CAD515. The Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) is paid by permanent resident applicants when their applications are approved. Permanent residence status is not granted until the RPRF is paid,” the ET report said.
