Comments on: How Much Does Immigrating Really Cost? (5/10) http://correresmidestino.com/how-much-does-immigrating-to-canada-cost/ Snowed under since 2004!

I'm a Permanent Resident in Canada, in the process of Citizenship though, and my fiance is an American Citizen. We both currently work in our respective countries, and we're trying to figure out the easiest way to proceed. Should she apply for a work permit then come work here for some time, during which we get married? If so, where do we start? Or should we get married and start filing immigration papers for her, while she goes back to the US to work. Ideally I'd like her to stay here, but how would she be able to work during the time the application is being processed? Hi there,

Due to the financial breakdown of Europe and even worse my country, Albania, I am deciding to start the process of immigrating to Canada as a skilled worker. I have finished university studies in the UK and have worked in the last three years in another European country. I wanted to know how long and how much (estimates) does the process take and is it true that it might be easier if I apply for Quebec and then get the Canadian entrance permit? Would this cost more? Best regards, Fredi Hello Zhu,

Thanks for the great posts.

Tuition fees depend on universities but be aware that as an international students, you will pay much more than Canadian. You should check universities' website for these kinds of information. If you obtain the permanent residence before starting studying in Canada, you'll pay the same tuition fees as Canadians, i.e. roughly $6,000 per year (that's on top of my head). However, getting residency in Canada is a long process. As a British citizen, you can also get a Working Holiday Visa for Canada, this may be an option to explore. This website will answer a ot of your questions: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.asp. Hi Lee,

Currently I am on my gap year and am in England. My boyfriend is a Canadian citizen and has permanent residency in NZ too. He thinks he is going to stay in Canada to study and live. What i'd like to know is how easy would it be for me to study and live in Canada for the duration of a university degree too? And how much roughly would the costs be? Would I be best getting a study permit or applying for residency? I may want to live in Canada after my degree too, but i'm not sure yet. I have no other connections in Canada apart from him and his family. Any help and advice would be great!! :) Thanks Lee Hi there,

There isn't usually any financial help to help you immigrate to Canada. I’m not sure I understand your question. There isn’t usually any financial help to help you immigrate to Canada.

Most people like to pay at the time they send their application so that you don't have an extra step, but I believe you can pay it before the visa is issued, so later in the process. You will receive a request to pay this fee anyway. Note that personal cheques are to accepted as payment: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp.

They don't go out of their way to make figuring fees easy, do they? I'm applying for permanent residence under the family category and, just now while (so far unsuccessfully) trying to figure out who to make the check out to, I notice this $490 RPRF fee for the first time. They different fee schedules give different impressions on whether it has to be paid when submitting the application or can wait until closer to award time. The difference is important because, while I'd prefer they didn't know I'm sweating the $490 a bit, I'm sweating the $490 a bit. Hi Zhu, thanks for this article.
