Permanent Residence Fees Increase in 2024
Permanent Residence Fees Increase in 2024
Effective April 30, 2024, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has increased the fees for all permanent residence applications. This change is part of a routine process, mandated every two years, to adjust fees for inflation. The last adjustment was in 2020, and this year’s increase aligns with legislative requirements.
Why Did Fees Increase?
Canadian immigration law allows IRCC to increase fees biennially to account for inflation. These adjustments ensure that immigration processes remain sustainable and reflect current economic conditions.

Below is a breakdown of the old and new fees as of April 30, 2024:
