As we thought when Stephen Harper got into Office, the Right of Permanent Residence Fee was cut in half. This means that the Right of Permanent Residence Fee is now only $490 CAD and is a lot more affordable. This could be good and it could be bad.

The Good News

  • A lower permanent residence fee.

The Bad News

  • Citizenship and Immigration Canada wait times might increase.
  • If you became/become a Permanent Resident before May 3rd 2006, you don’t get a refund.

If you are looking to get into Canada, NOW’S THE TIME. DO IT BEFORE STEPHEN HARPER GETS OUT OF OFFICE AND THE WAIT TIMES INCREASE!
