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.
