Q: When do I pay government
fees?
A: 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.
Q: In what currency must
I pay these government fees?
A: 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.
Q: What is the Right
of Landing Fee?
A: All adults immigrating to Canada must pay this fee and can
do so any time before landing documents are issued. The Right
of Landing fee is fully refundable if for any reason the applicant
or accompanying dependents do not land in Canada as permanent
residents.
Q: If I am already in
Canada, do I still have to pay the Right of Landing Fee?
A: Yes, all adult immigrants must pay the Right of Landing Fee.
Q: Are there any other
fees or costs?
A: 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.
