\"Immigration \"Fee \"Fee<\/p>\n

The increase in fees is less than two weeks away – it will take effect on April 30 – and will affect fees for applications in the economic, permit holder, family and humanitarian immigration classes.<\/p>\n

“The Government of Canada supports a cost-effective approach to financing government programs, where most of the costs are the responsibility of those who receive the services and benefit directly from them,” IRCC said in a press release.<\/p>\n

The previous increase dates back to 2020, when the IRCC introduced its first fee adjustment for permanent residence applications since 2002, saying it was in response to inflation.<\/p>\n

It also announced at the time that from then on fees would be increased every two years to keep pace with current rates of inflation.<\/p>\n

The pandemic disrupted supply chain networks around the world and in Canada as well, driving up the cost of living, including food and gasoline.<\/p>\n

In February 2022, Canada’s annual inflation rate reached 5.7%, the highest rate since August 1991.<\/p>\n

The following table, provided by IRCC, gives a breakdown of the changes to the application fees that will take effect on 30 April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
