When this answer doesn’t apply
- · It covers fees paid to the Government of Canada only. Language tests, educational credential assessments, medical exams and police certificates are paid to other organisations, which set their own prices.
- · It does not cover Provincial Nominee Program fees, which provinces charge separately.
- · Amounts are in Canadian dollars, as IRCC charges them. It does not convert currency.
These are limits of the answer, not a judgment about any reader’s situation. Working out which apply is yours to do.
