The 25k project (Part 2)

It costs quite a sum to apply for Canadian Permanent Resident visas for a family of four. In Canadian dollars (CAD), it’s 550 each for Wifey and me, CAD150 each for Faith and Joy. That makes a grand total of CAD1400 or SGD1900-plus with current forex rates.

The Canadian visa section in Singapore charges SGD2192 if we’re paying in Singapore dollars. That’s quite a hefty premium. It’s less costly if we get an international bank draft in Canadian dollars. It’ll cost under SGD2000 with the service fee added in

With knowledge, there’s empowerment (and savings).
