2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

[Yolo55]

I haven’t received my BIL because i didn’t pay for my biometric, i had a call with the agent and was advised to pay the biometric fee, and so i did. Im exactly like you paid for the application only and didn’t know that there is a biometric fee.

Im sorry to hear that hopefully you get your bil soon. And so do the rest of us im going to do it right away and send through a webform

Since you applied in October 2025, the $635 fee was the correct amount at that time.
* April 30, 2024: Protected Person principal applicant fee increased from $570 to $635.
* April 30, 2026: it increased again from $635 to $660.
* Biometrics are separate: currently $85 per person, or up to $170 for a family applying together.

Even if you are exempt from a particular fee, if you paid it by mistake, IRCC can refund the amount once the exemption is applied. you normally don't need to request the refund.

thankyouu this helps alot.
& also i really appreciate how supportive everyone on this forum is, specially with all the mental stress everyone is going through it feels good to see this forum how everyones helping eachother. Appreciate ya’ll.

If you have the payment receipts, keep them and consider contacting IRCC through the webform to confirm whether anything is actually outstanding.

Thank you. I will do this today. The system might have had a glitch and assumed that because i have two dependent children, i should have paid 170 for biometrics but they are minors. So i needed to pay my 85 which I paid( 635+155+155+85=1070)


I appreciate everyone for input and advice.
