Will you receive a refund from IRCC (Canada) if your visa is refused due to a late application?
In most cases, you will not be eligible for a refund if your visa application is refused, but there are some exceptions ¹ ²:
- The right of permanent residence fee (RPRF)
- The right of citizenship fee
- The open work permit fee
- The employer compliance fee (refunded to the employer)
- International Experience Canada (IEC) fees
If your application is withdrawn, you will only receive a refund if you withdraw it before IRCC starts processing it ¹ ².
