When you apply for a landed immigrant, you would be required to pay processing fees to the Canadian Embassy.

Below is the list of fees that the Canadian Government requires from the applicants. All prices are in Canadian Dollars. You may want to use our Currency Converter  ( you should be connected to the internet to use this ) to help you in determining the equivalent amount in your currency.

Required Fee Schedule
[All fees are in Canadian dollars]  

Processing Fees. Processing fees are collected at the time your application is submitted to the Visa Office. This is non-refundable even if your application is refused.

Right of Landing Fee. The Right of Landing Fee (ROLF) is required for every adult aged 19 or over in your family but, unlike the Processing Fee, is refundable if a Permanent Resident Visa is not issued or used, or if you withdraw your application or if your application is refused. 

The ROLF can be paid at any time during the application process, but must be paid before a Permanent Resident Visa can be issued. Don’t worry, if you did not pay your ROLF when you submitted your application, the Visa Office will contact your when it is time to pay the ROLF.  

Do I have to pay fees for non-accompanying family members?  

No. Processing Fee and ROLF are not applicable to non-accompanying family members, or to family members who are already permanent residents of Canada.

Are there any other fees or costs?  

You will also have to pay other fees such as those related to obtaining a valid travel passport, medical examination and a police certificate.  

What do you mean by Settlement Funds?

The Canadian government expects the independent immigrants to be able to financially support themselves at least during their first six months of  stay in Canada. 

You are required to show proof of your funds, for example bank statement or a letter from your bank.

These funds should be in liquid form such as cash, stocks bonds, shares, treasury-bills and should not include real estate.  

How much is the required Settlement Funds?

The funds that you need to show would depend on the family size. For example, if you are a single applicant you need to have a minimum net worth of at least Can $9,186.  But if you are a married applicant with 4 accompanying dependents, you need to show a net worth of at least Can $19,323. See table below.

Remember, you don’t have to include in your computation of settlement  funds any dependent not accompanying you to Canada.
