Question 1

Q- What is the approximate total cost for a single applicant?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the program and exchange rate, the total cost of applying for Canada PR for a single applicant ranges from INR 1.5 to 2 lakhs (or CAD 2,000–2,500). IELTS, ECA, government application fees, biometrics, and medical, police clearance, and extra costs like courier and document translation (if required) are all included in this. Hiring a consultant could result in additional expenses.

Question 2

Q- How much does it cost for a couple (no children)?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the exchange rate, the total cost for a couple applying for permanent residence in Canada (without children) falls between CAD 4,500 to 4,800, or INR 2.8 to 3 lakhs. Both applicants' government fees, IELTS tests, Educational Credential Assessments (ECA), medical examinations, police clearance certificates, biometrics, and other extra costs like document translation or courier fees are included in this. Using a consultant could result in slightly higher costs.

Question 3

Q- What about a family of three (couple + one child)?

Accepted Answer

A family of three (a couple and one child) will typically pay between CAD 5,200 and CAD 5,500 (roughly INR 3.2 to 3.5 lakhs) to apply for Canada PR, depending on the current exchange rate. IELTS, ECA, health tests, police clearance certificates, biometrics, government fees for one child and adults, and extra costs like document translation and courier services are all included. There will be additional costs if you hire a consultant.

Question 4

Q- What are the main cost components for Canada PR?

Accepted Answer

The IELTS exam fee, Education Credential Assessment (ECA) fee, IRCC government fees (processing + Right of Permanent Residence fee), fingerprints fee, medical examination, police clearance certificate, and proof of funds (not a fee, but necessary) are the primary cost components for Canada PR. Additional fees might also apply for hiring a consultant, using a courier, or changing documents.

Question 5

Q- Are there hidden or indirect costs I should budget for?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you should account for hidden or indirect costs such as notarization, document translation, courier fees, and travel expenses for fingerprints or medical exams in addition to official fees. The cost will also increase if you hire a consultant. Depending on your needs, optional costs like IELTS coaching or training might also be applicable.

Question 6

Q- How much do PNP fees add?

Accepted Answer

You must pay extra fees to the province if you're applying through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). These fees vary by province and typically range from CAD 250 to CAD 1,500. In particular, while Saskatchewan, Canada, and Nova Scotia charge roughly CAD 300 to 350, Ontario charges CAD 1,500. These must be paid at the time of your PNP application and are not covered by the national processing fees set by the IRCC.

Question 7

Q- What about proof-of-funds requirements?

Accepted Answer

Except for some employer-sponsored or in-Canada programs, you must provide evidence of financial stability to support your family and yourself once you arrive in Canada in order to apply for a permanent visa. The necessary sum varies according to the size of the family; for a single applicant, it is about CAD 13,757, and it rises with each extra family member. Money needs to be in your name, easily accessible, and supported by bank statements or other financial records.

Question 8

Q- What is the breakdown in CAD vs INR?

Accepted Answer

The proof of funds required for Canada PR, which is provided in Canadian dollars (CAD), will differ based on the size of your family. By 2025, one applicant will need to present roughly CAD 15,263 (₹9.5 to ₹9.7 lakhs), based on current exchange rates. About CAD 19,001 (₹11.8 to ₹12 lakhs) for a couple and CAD 23,360 (₹14.5 to ₹14.8 lakhs) for a family of three are needed. These amounts must be easily observable in your account and supported by official bank papers.

Question 9

Q- Can I reduce the total cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with careful planning, you can lower your Canada PR expenses. For instance, you can save money by studying for the IELTS exam on your own, selecting an affordable ECA agency like WES, and avoiding useless revision or document errors. By applying yourself, you can also avoid paying a consultant, though advice can be helpful if your case is complicated. Avoiding expensive delays or rejections can be achieved by maintaining organization and submitting a complete application the first time.

Question 10

Q- Do consultant fees cover all costs?

Accepted Answer

No, consultant fees do not cover all costs. They usually only include the service charges for guidance, document preparation, and application support. Still you need to pay separately for IELTS, ECA, government fees, medical exams, police clearance, biometrics, and proof of funds and transactions. Always confirm what’s included in the consultant’s package before you begin to avoid unexpected expenses.
