To have the strongest application, send in your supporting documents with your completed application form.
Where to apply
Mail your application to an IRCC office called a Case Processing Centre if you're applying for:

- another TRP from inside Canada.
If you're applying for a TRP at a when you arrive in Canada, you must have the completed application with you.
Fees

You also have to pay for biometrics. Biometrics cost $85 for one person. The cost for a family is $170. A family is 2 or more people. You need to do biometrics only once every 10 years or when IRCC asks you to.
You don't get this money back if you don't get a TRP.
You don't have to pay a fee to apply for a TRP if you have applied to become a and are waiting for a decision. And there may be other reasons why you may not have to pay to apply for a TRP.
