Hi there,
A friend of mine has received requests for medicals+passport+updated proof of funds. But no request to pay RPRF. I guess they are waiting for the medical results to ask for RPRF.
Do you recommend that she pay RPRF NOW and send the receipt along with other documents, or wait until requested. What are possible advantages or disadvantages to this? Seniors' advice is most welcome.
R303 specifies that RPRF fees are payable for the principal applicant and their spouse or
common- law partner.
Payment of the right of permanent residence fee (RPRF) is required before issuance of
permanent resident visas.
Applicants may make their RPRF payment at any time during the immigration process.
Successful applicants who decide not to use their visas must return them to the issuing visa office
in order to obtain a RPRF refund.
Unsuccessful applicants who have paid the RPRF should be informed as part of the refusal letter
that they are entitled to a refund, and be given an approximate time frame for its receipt.
In the case of transferred files, the visa office that finalizes the case is responsible for processing
any RPRF refund. This instruction does not apply to applications received by or transferred to the
CIO. In these cases, the CIO is responsible for the RPRF refund.
