Canada PR Cost Calculator

This calculator estimates the true cost of Canada PR through Express Entry — the government fees plus the third-party costs most budgets forget. Set the number of adults and dependent children, tick the extras that apply to you, and you get an itemized table with a running total in Canadian dollars, computed entirely in your browser.

The government side uses the current IRCC fee schedule: a $950 processing fee and $575 Right of Permanent Residence Fee per adult, $260 per dependent child, and biometrics at $85 per person capped at $170 per family. On top of that sit the costs almost every candidate pays before or after the application: an educational credential assessment (around $220), an approved language test (around $320 per adult), and immigration medical exams (roughly $450 per adult and $250 per child).

A worked example: a single applicant paying for everything lands at about CAD $2,600, while a couple with one child comes to roughly $5,710 — $3,050 of it processing and RPRF alone. The estimate deliberately excludes settlement funds (use the proof of funds calculator for that separate requirement), travel, and provincial nominee fees, which range from free in some provinces to $1,500–$2,000 for Ontario's OINP. Because fees change, verify the government amounts on canada.ca before you pay.
