Now this is interesting news
Canada has cut many of their permanent residence application fees in half. Of course, this comes as the USD:CAD ratio approaches 1:1, so in Imperial dollars it's only about a 30% decrease in costs over last year, but every little bit helps.
I am still bottlenecked on trying to find the street addresses of everywhere I've lived in the past 27 years, but at least the barrier on the other side of the bottleneck has become cheaper now.
