i am appling for pr. with my girlfriend sponsoring just me, we are applying in canada for work permit at the same time and to extend my visitors visa too. just want to make sure what fees i need to pay? thanks mike and emily

Sponsorship application (per application) $75
Principal applicant $475
Open Work Permit $150.00

RPRF $490.00 This can be paid with the initial application or they will request it before landing.

Still not sure why you're doing an inland application being from the UK considering some people from London have been getting full PR in 2 to 6 months. You could be working sooner and stay in Canada.
Your choice. You must have your reasons Good luck!

I would really suggest not applying inland but outland instead, as by the time you get your work permit through, in approximately 9 months after first stage approval, you could have had the whole application completed in about 3 months or so, which is what London is currently working at, as long as there are no issues.

Also, you do know that you have no right to appeal if you are declined inland, as well as you will not be able to leave the country in the 18 months you application will take to process?

Have you have considered all these elements prior to applying Inland, as hopefully you are aware you can be residing in Canada on a visitors visa and still apply outland?

Definately agreed with the above posts. If you have an option for outland, do that...

i have thought about it. my girlfriend has got a job over here now and we are just getting settled. so i can apply outland even though she has a job over here now? can i still get everything mailed to us in canada? surely they will be curious why we are applying outland and what if it does take longer and my visitors visa runs out? can i still apply for an extention with my reciept for sending off my application if it does take longer even though its outland? thanks mike

Mike you can apply Outland regardless of your place of residence. We've just applied outland. My boyfriend is here from Germany as a visitor. All correspondence is sent to our address in Canada. The only thing if an interview was called you'd have to fly home. When your visitor status is up extend it and include a receipt that you've applied for permanent residence and would like to remain with your spouse in Canada while it processes. You should have no problem.

Also they wouldn't be curious as many people do it this way.
