REFUNDS

Processing Fees are Non-refundable:
The Department of Citizenship and Immigration charges fees to partially recover the cost of providing some of these services to the public. Since the processing fee helps defray the cost of processing your application it cannot be refunded even if your application is unsuccessful or you withdraw your application before it has been concluded.

Right of Permanent Residence Fees are Refundable:
The Right of Permanent Residence Fee is paid for the right to obtain permanent resident status in Canada. The fee is partial compensation for the many benefits and privileges that permanent resident status confers. This fee will be refunded for unsuccessful immigrant applications or for those who withdraw or otherwise abandon immigration to Canada before the visa has been used. Right of Permanent Residence Fee refunds are issued by the office that concluded your application. Right of Permanent Residence Fee refunds for all Family Class applications are issued by the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga.

The Canadian Consulate General issues Right of Permanent Residence Fee refunds in the form of a U.S. dollar cheque, made payable to the principal applicant. There are no exceptions.
