Fees

All applicants need to remit a number of cost recovery and administrative fees for processing their application in order to complete their citizenship and immigration procedures.

However, all fees are subject to change without notice. In general, fees are payable at the time of application. Please contact GICS for confirmation.

Visa Processing Fee

The visa fee for you and your dependants who will accompany you to Canada must be submitted along with your visa application.

If you do not meet the selection criteria as a Federal skilled worker, you will be informed and your application along with the visa fee would be returned.

Principal applicant and every family member who is 22 years of age or older, or is less than 22 years of age and is a spouse or common-law partner	$550
A family member of the principal applicant who is less than 22 years of age and is not a spouse or common-law partner	$150

The Right of Permanent Residence fee

You will only need to pay this fee if your application to immigrate as a skilled worker is approved. It covers you and your accompanying spouse or common-law partner, if applicable. It must be paid before Citizenship and Immigration Canada issues your permanent resident visa. This fee is refundable if you cancel your application or if you do not use your visa.
