Interesting advice. My lawyer advised me to pay the RPRF upfront as not doing that will delay the application by a couple of months when they request the fee.

The Right of Permanet Residence Fee which is C$490 is part of whole payment for the processing but we didn't paid yet not we are advise to do so. As per lawyer who helped us we don't know if we go denied and the refund of RPRF will take 1 year. So she told us not to pay until we are told to so because that's the indication that your papers is ok once u got advise to pay for it.
