How to request a refundOn May 2, 2006, the Government of Canada announced a 50 percent reduction of the $975 Right of Permanent Residence Fee. You may be entitled to a refund. You are eligible for a refund if:
How much will be refunded? The amount of the refund is CAN $485. The refund applies to every person on your application who paid the CAN $975 fee and who did not become a permanent resident until after 12:00 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2006. The fees to process applications remain unchanged. How to obtain your refund If you or your sponsor paid the $975 fee for your application in Canada, you do not have to submit a request for a refund. CIC will issue refunds for all family class (sponsorship) applicants. You will receive it by mail. If you or your sponsor have moved since you paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, please make sure to notify CIC of any changes to your address. You can notify our Call Centre or use our Web site to notify us of any changes. If you paid the $975 fee outside of Canada, and you did not receive a refund before arriving in Canada, you must complete the request form and mail it to CIC.
