Does anyone know the exact fees I need to pay, for the sponsor, and applicant?

If the applicant is a spouse and does not have any family members included in the application, it should be:
75$ - processing fee for the sponsor
475$ - processing fee for the principal applicant
490$ - Right of Permanent Residence Fee
_____
1040$ - total

Thanks.
Where can I Find a link to pay online, and should all fees be paid at once?
I read something about a landing fee, what is that?

The right of landing fee is now called Right of Permanent Residence Fee.
The processing fees must be paid before submitting the application, and the receipt must be included in the file. The RPRF (Right of Permanent Residence Fee) can be paid up-front, during processing or when the VO asks for it. If you pay it during processing, you will have to send the receipt to Mississauga and inform the VO through mail. If wait for the VO to request the payment, your timeline will be delayed with a few weeks, a month at most.

If you pay the RPRF only when the VO asks for it, you will be sure that the application is about to be approved - they usually request the receipt the same time with the passport, right before issuing the visa. If you pay up-front or during processing and the application is denied, the RPRF will be refunded in a few days.

Thanks, that answer is really helpfull.
Now you said that they request your passport. Do they always request it? how long will it take for then to return it to me? if I have an american and an israeli passport, does it matter which one i send?
