Common Law Payment

[charleys88]

Hi all,

I am at the last step of the application process, the payments.
Not sure which one to choose,
On the payment page,
I believe I should choose the "Common Law Partner" option, which is $550, but do I also have to pay for the "Sponsorship appication"? Which is $75?

Also, since I am also applying to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada,
Do I pay under the "Permit holder's" page, and choose the "Member of the Permit Holder's Class" option at $325?
or the Temporary Residence page, and the "Work Permit (including extensions)" option at $155? Is there any other fee that I should pay?

Would be great if someone could clarify.

Thanks,

Charley

For the sponsorship:
-Sponsorship application
-Principal Applicant
-Right of Permanent residence

The common-law partner option is only if both of you are being sponsored by someone else.

I believe $155 is the correct option for the work permit, but I'm not certain about that one.

as of the 21st of February there is an additional $100 fee so the total is $255 for the open work permit with the pilot program.

New fee for open work permit applicants

A fee of $100 will be collected, also starting February 21, 2015, from open work permit applicants. This fee will be paid at the same time as the work permit processing fee and can be paid online. The fees collected will offset the cost of new initiatives to improve data collection on the role of open work permit holders in the Canadian labour market, as well as increased promotional activities to encourage open work permit holders to apply for permanent residence.

International Mobility Program streams that feature open work permits rather than employer-specific work permits include the working holiday portion of International Experience Canada, the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, spouses/common-law partners of highly-skilled foreign workers and international students, and certain foreign nationals who are already in Canada waiting for the finalization of their applications for permanent residence.
