- Sponsored child (of a principal applicant under the family reunification class) 鈥 the child must be under 22 years old and not have a spouse/partner
- Principal applicants under the humanitarian and compassionate consideration and public policy classes
Note: This fee is normally paid by all permanent residence applicants (except for dependent children and protected persons). Principal applicants in the 鈥渉umanitarian and compassionate consideration鈥 and 鈥減ublic policy鈥 categories are only exempt from the RPR fee under certain circumstances.
