This article discuss the costs for Canada Immigration via Express Entry :

The major factor is to consider how many dependents will be accompany you for this immigration. You can see the proof of funds requirements from the official IRCC website but here I want to share my own experience

Please note:

• This cost is based on a Pakistani family of two people (husband and wife).
• We had paid some cost in Canadian Dollars (CAD), United State Dollar (USD) and Pakistani Rupees (PKR).
• The Pakistani Rupee currency is very volatile nowadays and the exchange rate can cause the expense amount to change.

This article is not discussing the Proof of Funds requirement although you might consider reading this important detail about SINP rejection based on proof of funds by clicking on https://chasingsomedreams.com/2023/05/28/why-sinp-rejected-my-application-got-ineligible-from-sinp/

Therefore I have provided the exchange rate that I have used for this calculation. Since I had provided most of the documents to Express Entry in Feb 2023 therefore I have used the exchange rate of

CAD to PKR 200

USD to PKR 270.

As per this assumption the total cost that I incurred was 1,322,018. that is 13 lakh twenty two thousand and eighteen Pakistani Rupees.

This cost is NOT the proof of fund and includes all the costs we had to pay for different components during the immigration process.
