Canada Fee Schedule and Proof of Funds
IRCC fees and funds tables, checked 6 November 2026
This page collects the IRCC fees and proof of funds figures that applicants from India ask us about most often. It is a reference, not a payment instruction. Every figure below was read from the official page named beside it on 6 November 2026, and fees and funds tables can change without notice.
These are the amounts on IRCC's list under "Permanent Residence: Economic Immigration (including Express Entry)". Each adult pays a processing fee and the right of permanent residence fee (RPRF).
| Application | Total (CAD) | Without RPRF (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| Principal applicant | 1,590 | 990 |
| Spouse or partner | 1,590 | 990 |
| Each dependent child | 270 | Not listed |
The RPRF is CAD 600. IRCC's Help Centre says you can pay it with your application fees or wait for IRCC's instructions, that dependent children of a principal applicant are exempt from it, and that it is refunded if you paid it up front and the application is not approved. IRCC's notice of 27 March 2026 lists the RPRF rising from CAD 575 to CAD 600 and the Provincial Nominee Program processing fee from CAD 950 to CAD 990.
Amounts as listed by IRCC for the other main permanent residence categories. "Total" includes the RPRF.
| Category and applicant | Total (CAD) | Without RPRF (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| Business immigration, principal applicant | 2,495 | 1,895 |
| Business immigration, spouse or partner | 1,590 | 990 |
| Business immigration, each dependent child | 270 | Not listed |
| Home care workers (programs opened in 2025), principal applicant or spouse | 1,590 | 990 |
| Home care workers (programs opened before 2025), principal applicant or spouse | 1,260 | 660 |
| Humanitarian and compassionate, principal applicant or spouse | 1,260 | 660 |
| Protected person, principal applicant or spouse | 660 | Not listed |
| Sponsor your parent or grandparent | 1,260 | 660 |

IRCC also lists a permanent resident card at CAD 50 and a permanent resident travel document at CAD 50.
| Biometrics fee | CAD |
|---|---|
| Per individual | 85 |
| Per family of 2 or more eligible people | 170 |
| Per group of 3 or more performing artists | 255 |
IRCC's biometrics page says a child under 14 does not need to give biometrics, and neither does an applicant over 79. Age is assessed at the time the application is submitted. IRCC's page for applicants from India says the biometrics appointment itself is free.
| Fee | CAD |
|---|---|
| Electronic Travel Authorization | 7.00 |
| Visitor visa, per person | 100.00 |
| Visitor visa, per family (one fee for a family of 5 or more people) | 500.00 |
| Extend your stay as a visitor, per person | 100.00 |
| Study permit (including extensions), per person | 150.00 |
| Work permit (including extensions), per person | 155.00 |
| Open work permit holder fee (added to the work permit fee) | 100.00 |
| International Experience Canada fee | 184.75 |
| Temporary resident permit, per person | 246.25 |
| Restore your status as a visitor | 246.25 |
| Restore your status as a student | 396.25 |
| Restore your status as a worker | 401.25 |
A work permit with an open work permit holder fee therefore costs CAD 255 in total (155 plus 100), which matches the amount on IRCC's page for applicants from India. IRCC lists the Super Visa under the visitor visa line, with the label "Visitor visa (including super visa) or extend your stay in Canada".
IRCC's table is labelled "Funds you need (CAD)" and "Updated July 7, 2025". The page itself was last modified on 16 October 2026. The amounts are minimums, and IRCC says to list the full amount you hold.
| Family size | Funds needed (CAD) |
|---|---|
| 1 person | 15,263 |
| 2 people | 19,001 |
| 3 people | 23,360 |
| 4 people | 28,362 |
| 5 people | 32,168 |

| Each additional person | 4,112 |
For study permit applications made on or after 1 September 2026, IRCC's page lists the amounts below as living costs per year for all provinces and territories except Quebec. They exclude tuition and transportation. Applicants must also show funds for tuition fees and for transportation to and from Canada, for themselves and any accompanying family members, and IRCC gives no dollar figure for those two items. Quebec applicants must meet the requirements set by the Quebec ministry, which this page does not quantify. IRCC's page was last modified on 28 August 2026.

IRCC names a GIC from a Canadian financial institution as one example of proof of funds. It gives no GIC amount.
Language tests, educational credential assessments, medical exams and police certificates are paid to the organizations that provide them, and prices vary. Our family of four cost guide says where to check each one, and our guide to fake job offers explains which payments a worker should never make.
