Various fees are here
For Express Entry (or other "economic class"-based visas) application: $550
For a spouse/partner: $550
For dependents under 19 (or disabled dependants over 18): $150
Permanent resident fee for principal applicant or spouse/partner: $490
Dependents: free
You will also need to pay third-party companies or agencies for these:
c) Other fees. You may have to pay fees to third parties for:
- language testing,
- Educational Credential Assessments,
- your medical exam,
- police checks/clearances and certificates, and
- translation of documents.
Note: I think you also need to have money to support yourself (and family) for some period of time when you enter the country too. Here it is. The amount changes every year. The money cannot be borrowed.
Number of Family Members Funds Required (in Canadian dollars)
1 $12,164
2 $15,143
3 $18,617
4 $22,603
5 $25,636
6 $28,913
7 or more $32,191

Can I borrow this money from friends and family?– user9603Jan 3, 2017 at 7:52

It says no, but possibly you could get away with it if you had the money in your account for over a year before applying.– mkennedyJan 3, 2017 at 14:03
