The cost of spousal sponsorship?

Thanks Canuck in the UK

And yeah, definitely not a marriage of convenience. Was a bit of a hasty decision, all being honest, but I hope things should go smoothly.

I will break down what i included for expenses so you may understand.

5 trips from Canada to China at about $1500 each = $7500.
3 medicals plus wife's travel at about $600 each = $1800.
2 translators in Hong Kong at $400 each = $800
Renting hotels and apartments in China while visiting wife, 14 months at $500 = 7000.
I have my own house in Canada, so basically paying rent twice.
Consultant for appeal = $3000
Travel to Vancouver plus hotel 2 nights = $450

Also i paid the $1040 to immigration twice = $2080

Total of over $22,000. so you can see total cost is different for everyone.

You are obviously up to no good, and no idea why you would want to spend 20k to just move to another country.

The $3000 for a consultant is not attributable to the app, as it was a personal choice. People can appeal on their own.

Oh, absolutely it was their unnecessary personal choice, but unlike things like hotels and flights, it was uniquely something they did because they were doing the application. It wasn't money CIC asked them to spend, but it was money they spent trying to get something out of CIC. Not that it matters much, the point is, cost of going through the process is much, much, much, much lower than that poster claimed

We applied outside of Canada (both in Australia) and roughly we would've spent about $1600-$1700. It was $1040 for the Visa fee and his full medical was just under $600. We then just had small fees for courier, passprot photos and police/traffic record checks.

Hi everyone,

What is roughly the total cost if sponsoring a spouse for PR in Canada? That is excluding lawyers.

Thank you
