Canada PR fees increased effective April 30, 2026.
Economic class applicants (including Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program, and AIP pathways) are now $990 for the principal applicant. The Right of Permanent Residence Fee is now $600.
The applicable fee depends on when IRCC receives your application:
Submitted before April 30, 2026 → previous fees apply
Submitted on or after April 30, 2026 → new fees apply
If an application submitted after April 30 includes outdated or insufficient fees, IRCC may request an additional payment, which can delay processing.
