Canada Reduces the Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF) The Canadian government introduced its 2006 budget on May 2'nd and it contains good news for individuals thinking about immigrating to Canada or currently in the immigration process.
Effective immediately, the Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF) is reduced from C$ 975 to C$ 490.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) requires the RPRF from all adult applicants prior to issuance of their permanent resident visa.
Moreover, individuals who have already paid C$ 975 but have not yet landed in Canada as permanent residents are entitled to a refund of C$ 485, as follows:
Paid the RPRF outside Canada and have not yet received a visa: A refund can be requested from the
Visa Office to which the RPRF was paid. If no such request is made, a refund will be issued with the Canadian permanent resident visa.
Paid the RPRF outside Canada and has received a visa but has not yet landed in Canada as a permanent resident: A refund can be requested after arrival in Canada by completing and submitting the
required form.
Paid the RPRF in Canada and has not yet become a permanent resident: No request for refund is necessary. It will be mailed by Canadian immigration authorities to the Canadian mailing address indicated in the application form. NB: If the mailing address has changed since payment of the RPRF, CIC may be notified through their
On-line services.
The budget also contains an increase in immigration settlement funding by C$ 307 million, part of which will be utilized for the establishment of a Canadian agency for the assessment and recognition of foreign credentials to smooth the transition of newcomers into the Canadian workforce.
