Our Expenses

Deciding to lodge your 2015 EE FSWP will entail so much expenses for an applicant. So be prepared. Below is the summary of our expected Government Fees for our EE FSWP application plus my ECA and IELTS expenses. Note, however, that the remaining Php761,985.00 is the required cash on hand once an ITA is received from CIC.

As of 23 June 2015, my husband and I already invested an amount of Php29,269.06 in our initial application as detailed below.

After two months of being in the Express Entry Pool, below is our updated expenses as of 16 August 2015.

My husband and I decided to take the route of a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) because our score in the EE CRS is only at 313 points. Having a PNP nomination in any province of Canada will boost an applicant's score an addition of 600 points. Luckily, we got an ITA from New Brunswick PNP (NBPNP). Below now is our updated expenses amounting to Php48,819.60, as of 22 October 2015, after submitting our full application to NBPNP.

Please note that taking a PNP route will mean an additional expenses besides the Government expenses required by CIC. So be really prepared.

After getting a NBPNP nomination last 9 December 2015, my husband and I did our NBI, bank consolidation, picture, upfront medical and others. Below is our updated expenses as of 18 December 2015 in the amount of Php77,154.60.

Next will be expenses before the CIC stage. After paying our processing fee on 28 December 2015, our expenses is now at Php119,970.26 as shown below. We have yet to pay the RPRF to which I decided not to pay the upfront because I wanted a message from CIC telling us to pay it. This way I may know that PPR is just around the corner, LOL.

Updating this page. So, after PPR and PP submission, below is our updated expenses as of 16 March 2016:

So far, my husband and I has a total of P160,326.42 total expenses from IELTS, ECA, NBPNP application, CIC application, passport to permanent residency visa stamping. We have yet to add our expenses for the 3 seminars which we are attending soon (CIIP, COA and PDOS) to finalize our final expenses to our Canadian dream for our little R.

Below now is our final expenses from the start of our application to the cost of our tickets. The landing is not included since we are already in Canada. Final amount is at P278,897.37, more or less, as detailed below.
