The link to submit payment for the TR2PR pathway is live   With only a few days left to apply for the 90,000 permanent residency positions on May 6, IRCC finally updated the billing details and payment link for the new program. The single application fee is $1,050 ($550 application fee + $500 permanent residency fee). The fee for the accompanying spouse is $1,050 ($550 application fee + $500 permanent residency fee). Additional accompanying expenses for dependent children are $150. If the applicant has never undergone biometric information collection in Canada in the past ten years (when applying for a work permit or a study permit), then the applicant will need to pay an extra $85 per person at the time of this application. The Canadian government recommends that applicants for this TR2PR project pay their fees at the beginning to avoid delays after subsequent approvals are passed. If the applicant's immigration application is withdrawn or rejected, the federal government will refund the fee.   #IRCC, #TR2PR, #permanent_residence, #temporary_policy, #processing_fees (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/COdf9sWH90t/?igshid=spmlz5wvn722

The public calls the government to waive the citizenship fee   New immigrants are still waiting on the Trudeau government to deliver on its promise to wipe out the fee to become a citizen as soon as possible. The Liberal Party had promised to waive the $630 fee during the fall 2019 election campaign. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) will lose almost $400 million over four years if the fee is eliminated. In the meantime, the backlogs and waiting time for new citizenship ceremonies are growing as the traditional in-person group oath-taking has been cancelled since March as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. IRCC has since moved the citizenship ceremonies online. Some citizenship applicants who have passed their exams and are in line to swear their citizenship oath have been told they can’t take their oath because their criminal record check expired while they were waiting for their turn.   #IRCC, #citizenship, #oath_ceremony, #processing_fees, #Ghimmigrationsvcs (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEqYMKjWhE/?igshid=vgcwrp44cx1e
