Permanant Residence Fees

[shekhar_a2k]

Hello Friends,
My initial application i sent to Nova Scotia got approved and I recieved a file number. I had paid the initial fees CAD 550 each for myself and my wife.
I am about to send my application to Buffalo now. I am little confused about the amount of fees that I need to send. Can someone please clarify the exact amount that I need to send in USD (application is for myself and my wife). Appreciate your response.

Thanks
Shekhar

you have already paid immigration fees to Sydney. No more fees antill any further steps, you will need to pay RPRF for you and wife later stage. Just prepare you application and submit to local visa office.

Hi Shekhar,

CAD 490 each for self and spouse. Total CA$ 980.

you may chose to wait for CHC to explicitly ask for this amount or you may send it with your final application to Bubbalo. it's your choice.

They recently made it mandatory in India to send this amount along with the final deck.

You should read question of OP. He,She is talking about Buffalo not India, Plus he,she just passed inicial stage from sydeny and now its gonna submit full application. You are talking about RPRF which would be requested later only if they approved his,her application as general.

HI Shekhar,

Yes Mahrouff is right , no need of sending any fees now to buffalo, they will ask u explicitly.

Your first source should to be CIC instrctions. Did you recieve letter from Sydney? if yes then probably that letter includes instrcutions too.

Yes, you already paid immigration fees,now its stage for submit full application as you passed first stage. After you appproved from Buffalo, they will request you again "right of permanent residence fees" as above member indicated, its 490 CAD for each you and your wife. Good luck

Quote from Buffalo Annexure 1-

Consult the Fees section of our Web site or the Guide for Skilled Worker Applicants
to calculate your fees. Pay by certified cheque, bank draft or money order made
payable to the “Canadian Consulate General.” Do not enclose cash.

quote from http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/buffalo/imm/fees-frais_buffalo.aspx

All applicants in the Federal Skilled Worker Class must pay their application processing fees to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney Nova Scotia. Do not submit the Right of Permanent Residence fee until it is requested by the Visa Office.

so, i guess you can pass paying anything at this time.

I had mentioned New Delhi's change of policy for the benefit of those applying from India and reading this thread...

cheers!!!
