The effects of the resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) on the turbulent transport are analyzed in the framework of the test particle approach using a semi-analytical method. The normalized RMP amplitude $P_{ b}$ extends on a large range, from the present experiments to ITER conditions. The results are in agreement with the experiments at small $P_{ b}.$ The predictions for ITER strongly depend on the type of turbulent transport. A very strong increase of the turbulent transport is obtained in the nonlinear regime, while the effects of the RMPs are much weaker for the quasilinear transport.
