As of September 2016, the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) was $490 CAD. The RPRF must be paid by the main applicant and also by their spouse/partner prior to being issued their Canadian permanent resident visa, however, the RPRF does not need to be paid for the dependent children of the main applicant. It should be noted that the amount of the RPRF is subject to change at any time by Canada’s government.
