Canada’s immigration department, IRCC, has recently unveiled some changes that will affect those seeking permanent residency in the country.
Thus, starting on April 30, 2024, the fees set for applications for permanent residence will increase. The fee increase follows Canadian regulations, which link adjustments to the Consumer Price Index for Canada. From the end of April, the fee for obtaining permanent residence will increase from $515 to $575, a noticeable increase of about 12 percent, VisaGuide.World reports.
This fee is paid when you apply for permanent residence, which is similar to obtaining a green card in the United States and paves the way for possible Canadian citizenship.
To ease the burden on families, Canada has waived this fee for dependent children accompanying applicants seeking permanent residence.
