I received a letter from IRCC saying that my permanent residence application is incomplete. I paid the old fees already, but want to submit a new application. How do I pay my new permanent residence fees?
On April 30, 2020, the fees increased for most economic immigration programs and the right of permanent residence.
If you received a letter from us stating your application is incomplete, you must submit a new application. Since you're now applying after April 30, 2020, you must pay the new fees.
You have 2 options to pay your fees with your new application.
Option 1: Pay the new fees and get a refund for the fees for your old application
- Pay the new fees online.
- Request a refund for the fees you paid for your old application.
Option 2: Pay the difference between the new and old fees
- Have your receipt for your old payment ready as reference. The amount you've already paid is the old fee.
- Calculate the total fee difference you need to pay:
- Add up all the "payable difference" in the table below that applies to your situation.
- For example, if you are paying for yourself, your spouse or partner and 1 dependent child, the payable difference for you (including the right of permanent residence) is $CAN 645. This is the amount you need to pay.
- Go to the Make an additional payment or pay other fees page in the ePayment portal.
- Under Quantity, enter the payable difference amount:
- Each payment generates 1 receipt. You can pay as a single payment or repeat this step to make multiple payments.
- The receipt will be sent to the email address you entered in the ePayment portal.
- Submit a copy of your receipt(s) with your new application.
