Cost of Canada PR from Qatar – Express Entry

Migrating to Canada under the Express Entry program is one of the most sought-after options for professionals in Qatar. While the process is straightforward, it is important to know the actual costs involved at every stage so you can prepare your finances in advance.

👉 On average, the total cost of a Canada PR visa from Qatar comes to:

• Single Applicant: ≈ QAR 16,000 – 17,000 (plus proof of funds)
• Couple: ≈ QAR 21,000 – 23,000 (plus proof of funds)
• Family of 4: ≈ QAR 25,000 – 27,000 (plus proof of funds)

In addition, applicants must show settlement funds ranging from QAR 39,600 – 73,600 depending on family size.

In this guide, we have broken down the complete Canada PR cost into different stages — what you spend before the invitation (Pre-ITA), what you spend after the invitation (Post-ITA), and the miscellaneous charges. We’ll also explain how much of this money is at risk and how much is almost guaranteed once you get the Invitation to Apply (ITA).

1. Costs Before Invitation (Pre-ITA)

This is where most of the “risk” lies, because not every applicant immediately receives an ITA. These costs cover eligibility checks, profile creation, and score-building.

• Education Credential Assessment (ECA): Around QAR 1,000 (including transcripts)
• Language Test (IELTS / CELPIP / PTE): Around QAR 1,300
• Immigration Consultant Fee: QAR 5,000 – 8,000 (average QAR 6,500)

✅ Total Pre-ITA Cost: ≈ QAR 8,800

2. Costs After Invitation (Post-ITA)

Once you receive your ITA, 95% of the process is already complete. The risk is negligible because the government has already assessed your eligibility. At this stage, you only need to provide documents, medicals, and pay the official visa fees.

• Provincial Nominee Program (if applicable): Around QAR 950 (some provinces charge more)
• Visa Processing Fee + Right of PR Fee: Around QAR 4,110 per adult, QAR 700 per child

✅ Total Post-ITA Cost (Single Applicant): ≈ QAR 5,060

3. Miscellaneous Expenses

You should also account for smaller but important expenses such as:

• Medical exam: QAR 900 – 1,200 per person
• Police clearance: QAR 100 – 200 per person
• Translation/postage: QAR 200 – 300
• Passport renewal (if needed): QAR 500 – 700

✅ Miscellaneous Costs: ≈ QAR 2,000 – 3,000

4. Proof of Funds

In addition to the above fees, applicants must show settlement funds in their bank account. This is not a fee but mandatory proof of financial stability.

• Single Applicant: Around QAR 39,600
• Couple: Around QAR 49,300
• Family of 4: Around QAR 73,600
