The correct amount of application fee for spouse sponsorship application

[asker]

I am applying for the spouse sponsorship (outside Canada) and no dependents.

Looking at the fee structure on the cic site, what I get is that I need to pay a total of CAD$ 550 ($75 for Sponsor and $475 for Spouse/principal applicant) at the time of submitting the application. This is correct, right?

PR fees:

Sponsorship application $75
Principal applicant fee $475
Right of Permanent Residence Fee $490

Total $1040

You can choose to pay only the first 2 upfront and wait for CIC to request the RPRF. However, not paying the RPRF upfront will delay your app when CIC needs to request it and wait for the payment, so it's advised to pay the full amount upfront.
