Aditional fees for biometrics - visitor visa

[dsliver33]

Hello Forum,

I am doing an application of visitor visas for a family of 3. In IRCC's website, it says that the maximum fee is 170. Do any of you know why the system is charging me an extra $85?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

So it is parents and a child? If so should not be an extra fee.

Exactly, two parents and one child, (28 years old). The maximum for the whole family should be 170, right?
Is there any way to contact them, before we pay?

No. Your 28 year old is not part of your application as your child is not a dependant (under 22). Your 28 year old applies separately from your application. That is why you are charged more for the biometrics because you and your spouse are one application ($170) and your child is another ($85). So the fees are correct.
