My application was refused. Can I get a refund?

In most cases, no. Your application fees can’t be refunded once we start processing it. There are some exceptions. When an application is refused or withdrawn, we will refund:

• the right of permanent residence fee (RPRF)
• the right of citizenship fee
• the open work permit fee (for Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) exempt workers only)
• the employer compliance fee (refunded to the employer), and
• International Experience Canada (IEC) fees (See refunds for IEC).
