Hi there,

Just getting docs together for PNP application and come to the fee payment form and getting confused on how much we need to pay - well employer has offered to pay processing fee so need to let him know
So the fee payment form states $550 payable by principal applicant - I read this as the principal applicant being the one applying not the spouse but then saw another note in the guide for provincial nominees that states the spouse has to pay the processing fee of $550 too.

which is correct? it's only one application so surely its just the one lot of $550??

just wondered if anyone has done it recently and can advise?

Thanks!!

Hi


there is no free ride Adults $550 per person minors under 22 $150 and then there is the right of permanent resident fee of $490 per adult.

thanks PMM for clearing that up. Just confusing the way they have worded it on the fee payment form. Darn it oh well at least one will be paid by the employer and we'll cover the other. Unless he falls for 'oh gosh the payments just gone up to $1100 would ya believe it!' haha jk

hmmmm not that i'm questioning your response but just seen this on the:
Welcome BC website: Provincial Nominee Program - Strategic Occupations – Processing Fee
There is a $550 non-refundable processing fee for each application to the Strategic Occupations component of the BC PNP.

that to me sounds like it is infact per application not 'applicant' no? confused.com!!

Hi

I was assuming that the OP thought that the only fee was for applicant for BC PNP ($550) and didn't realize that they had to pay the Federal fees as well.

Hello,

My husband did ours back in Jan and only paid $550 for my application then paid for 2 work permits at the boarder. Good luck x

Great thank you, I was aware of all the other fees related to the PR application, was just stuck on the PNP application fee.

Thanks again!
