The RPRF is a $600 fee charged to each principal applicant and accompanying spouse/partner when they become permanent residents. It can be paid at any time during processing but must be paid before the PR visa is issued. Children are exempt from the RPRF. Confirm the current amount on IRCC.
How much are biometrics fees for Canadian immigration?+
Biometrics (fingerprints and photo) cost $85 per person or $170 maximum per family. Most applicants aged 14-79 must provide biometrics. You'll receive a Biometric Instruction Letter after submitting your application, telling you where and when to provide them.
Can I pay IRCC fees in installments?+
IRCC does not offer installment payment plans. All fees must be paid in full at the time of submission, except the RPRF which can be paid later during processing. Fees are paid online via credit card or debit card through your IRCC online account.
Are IRCC application fees refundable?+
Processing fees are generally non-refundable once your application has begun processing. The RPRF is refundable if your application is refused or withdrawn before a final decision. Biometrics fees are non-refundable. Always verify fee refund policies on the official IRCC website.
