What is the Canada work visa fee process?

To apply for a Canada work visa, applicants must pay certain fees through the official Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Determine Your Fees

o Work Permit Fee: CAD 155 per person.

o Open Work Permit Holder Fee: Additional CAD 100 (only if applying for an open work permit).

o Biometrics Fee: CAD 85 per person, or CAD 170 for a family applying together.

2. Create or Sign In to Your IRCC Account

Visit the IRCC website and create an online account or log in if you already have one.

3. Start Your Application

Fill out the application form for a work permit. When you reach the payment section, the system will automatically calculate the required fees.

4. Make Payment Online

Use a valid debit or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) to pay the fees online through the IRCC secure payment portal.

5. Download and Print Your Receipt

After payment, download and print two copies of the official receipt. One should be submitted with your application if applying on paper; the other is for your records.

6. Submit Application

Complete the application and upload the payment receipt if prompted (especially for fee exemptions or if paid in advance).

It is important to pay all required fees accurately, including the biometrics and open work permit fees if applicable. Failure to do so may result in delays or rejection of the application.
