You might not know this but when you submit an application to apply for Canadian VISA, residence permit, permanent residency, or eTA then an application processing fee is charged by immigration office of Canada therefore this is very important to find out how much money you should be paying for your Canadian VISA type when submitting your application in 2023.
How You Will Submit Your VISA Application for Canada?
As you may have predicted already that there would actually be two options (Online application or Paper based application) to submit your Canadian VISA application for consideration by Canadian Immigration and Citizenship Commission (CICC) so lets discuss them and then we will see if application fees is same or not for both procedures.
1- Canada VISA Application (Online)
If you want to adopt an online method of submitting an application for Canadian VISA then you will first need to create a free IRCC account which is the only approved portal by CICC Canada for accepting Canadian VISA applications. In your IRCC account you will then select the VISA type for Canada, add your biodata details, attach all required documents, pay application fees, and submit your forms and wait for their review and decision.
Application Fees for Online or In-Person Canadian VISA Application
As per my research and confirmation by CICC office, you should know that the application fees for Canadian VISA application is SAME regardless of application submission method but this application fees may differ based on the type of visa you apply for and with that i think it is worth mentioning that both these application methods require you to submit same type of supporting documents and processing time for both these application methods will also be same.
