Dear friends.
My lawyer was on vacation for 10 days and after he got back to office, he sent me the RPRF. Now I'm going to pay the fee tonight however, 9 days has already gone because of my lawyer. Is there any deadline to RPRF at all? I've read somewhere that the deadline for RPRF after they send the request to you, is 7 days or 30 days depending on the location of office that doing your case. I am applying from Iran and the office that issued RPRF request is in Paris, France. Any rejection risk to my case for this delay?
Thanks in advance for your help.

the deadline should be on the letter he sent you. he may have received it at the end of the vacation. so double check that.

as for the delays, i don't know whether it will go as far as get your entire application canceled because of that but better wait for senior's input

Thank you but there is no deadline mentioned in the letter. The only thing regarding this in the letter is these sentences:
"If the payment of the RPRF is delayed, your security or medical results may no longer be valid. We therefore encourage you to pay the RPRF as soon as possible."

Did he send you the PDF sent from IRCC or send you his "version" of the request? The PDF is a request letter containing the link to pay for the RPRF.

Here's what my request Letter looked like (i didn't go through an agent or lawyer so I received it myself on my application page

Date: September 6th 2017

*my personal information*


At this time our records indicate that you and your spouse have not paid the required Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). You must pay this fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued. The RPRF must be paid once for yourself as a principal applicant and once for your accompanying spouse or common law partner, if applicable.

To pay your RPRF, please follow the below instructions:

 Go to our Online Payment webpage  Read the instructions on each page, and click “Continue” to proceed  Select the “Immigration” link, followed by “Right of Permanent Residence Fee”  Enter the number of fee payments (1 or 2) in the box beside the fee of $490  Click “Submit”  Proceed to pay your fees by selecting “Pay” and then follow the instructions to pay with Visa, American Express or Mastercard.

Once the payment process is complete, the web site will display your official receipt in PDF format. You must upload a copy of your receipt to your MyCIC account.

The RPRF will be refunded if the application is refused, if you withdraw your application or if you choose not to use your visa.

Your response to the above requests is required within 7 days."

He sent the entire PDF to me but the letter is very different from yours:

Government of Canada
Embassy of Canada
Immigration Section
Paris, France

*No personal information at all. even the case number!*
