Confused about which fees I need to pay for sponsoring a spouse outside of Can

[Aquakitty]

Hey all.

I am just double checking here as the online fee payment is a bit confusing. I am sponsoring my husband outside of Canada.

In the 3900 Guide to sponsorship there is nothing about a spouse payment of $550, but when I went to pay the fee online I see a box for "Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner". I was under the impression from the guide we had to pay the processing fee ($75), the Principal Applicant fee ($475) and the Right of Permanent Residence fee ($475) $490. Is this correct?

Thank you.

You are correct.

The spouse fee only applies if both spouses are being sponsored (such as parents or grandparents).

1. Actually the fees are $550 ($475+75) and $490 for RPRF

Which is exactly what I said. The OP said they thought the fees were: 75$+475$+490$, which I said was correct.
I said that the spouse fee they were quoting was not correct for them, since that only applies when both spouses are immigrating.

Thank you, that's what I thought.

Yes, it's $490 RPRF, my bad.

Ah, I see the problem. I didn't notice the 475 for RPRF. Sorry! 490 is indeed correct.
