Its free for Alberta so I assumed its free everywhere.canadavisa13 said:again actonis stop giving false statements for god sake.
PNP is not free in all provinces,for example there is a fee if applying to ontario-british columbia.for quebec its not free as well.
once nominated he can send his application to cic as a pnp applicant for the federal part of the process which consist of admisibilty(criminality,security and medical),he will also needs to pay $550 processing fees and $490 permanent residence fees once his application is approved.
the FSW that you referred to in your post is irrelevant to the pnp because it stands for(federal skilled worker) which is a different category by its own and has nothing to do with pnp.
My mistake.
If you got PNP with that nomination you can apply for FSW. You don't pay for PNP in Alberta but certainly you pay for your FSW application.
