hey guys, Im ready to pay for my application and I am a bit confused. I am paying online and the options are to pay $75 for a sponsorship application and then there is an option that says $475 for principal applicant. I am a canadian and my wife and I are applying to bring her to Canada. If anyone can tell me how much I need to pay it would be a great help. Thanks a lot
There's three fees:
$75 sponsorship fee covers the review CPC-M will do of your application to sponsor
$475 is the fee you pay for the visa office to evaluate the applicant's application (i.e., your wife's application)
$490 right of permanent resident fee which covers landing, PR card, settlement services, etc.
While you can pay the RPRF later on in the process (before the visa is issued), if you pay it upfront it's one less thing to worry about sending to the visa office.
