Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has officially increased permanent residence application fees across several immigration categories effective April 30, 2026. The updated fee schedule now applies to Provincial Nominee Program applicants, business immigration applicants, family sponsorship cases, humanitarian applications, permit holders, and individuals required to pay the Right of Permanent Residence Fee. Applicants who submit applications with outdated fee amounts may face processing delays or requests for additional payment before IRCC continues processing the file. The revised fee structure is intended to reflect inflation and the administrative costs associated with Canada’s immigration system. Individuals and families preparing permanent residence applications should carefully review the updated government filing fees to avoid unnecessary interruptions or compliance issues during the application process.
