Starting from April 30, 2024, there will be adjustments to Canada's permanent residence fees, as announced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The department will implement fee increases for certain permanent residence (PR) categories at 9:00:00 AM Eastern Time on the mentioned date.
