Hello, I am a US citizen and am in the process of applying for spousal sponsorship in Canada. For the payment portion it is a bit confusing and I was wondering if someone could clear this up.
I copied what the payment page looks like below.
Family Class
Sponsorship application (per application) $75.00
Principal applicant $475.00
Principal applicant who is under 19 years of age, unmarried and not in a common-law relationship $75.00
Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner $550.00
Family member of the principal applicant who is under 19 years of age, unmarried and not in a common-law relationship OR is 19 years of age or older who has been unable to be financially self-supporting since before the age of 19 due to a physical or mental condition $150.00
Fee subject to a transitional provision - Family member of the principal applicant who is 22 years of age or older $550.00
Fee subject to a transitional provision - Family member of the principal applicant who is under 22 years of age, unmarried and not in a common-law relationship OR is 22 years of age or older who is unable to be financially self-supporting due to physical or mental condition $150.00
Right of Permanent Residence Fee $490.00
So, when I read this it seems like I have to pay for the sponsorship application, the principal applicant, the spouse, and the RPRF. I'm just confused if I have to pay for the principal applicant fee and the spousal fee. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overpaying. Could someone please help in clearing this up for us. That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
