Dear,
May be it’s a silly question but I am totally confused.
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/efee/efee.do
I have this link but I cannot figure out what to pay.
I will apply on Simplified application process,With my wife and a child(age 4 months).I have 77 points .I just want to know how much fee I have to pay with initial application .
Also how much time it will take to complete this process.
When will I get Canadian nationality?
Also is it better to hire some consultant/Lawyer or apply on my own.
Pick for persons outside Canada, then go to the bottom and put 1 in skilled worker, 1 for spouse and 1 for child under 22. It will tell you $1250. There is also a right of landing fee but you can pay it later when you are approved.
Time of process depends on where you are applying from. You can see it at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/02a-skilled-fed.asp
You are only applying for permanent resident status, not nationality. When your application is approved, you will be given a time limit to move to Canada and when you do, you become a permanent resident with almost all the rights of a citizen except to vote. When you have lived in Canada as a permanent resident for 3 years, you can apply for citizenship which takes about a year to process.
If you do not feel sure about how to fill out the application forms, you can get a lawyer. It will not make your application faster except to avoid possible delays if you had missed some supporting documents or made some mistake on your application. Most people probably apply themselves.
