How to pay your fees if you live exclusively outside Canada
You have the option of paying your fees through the Internet or with an international bank draft or money order.
Option 1. Payment of fees on our website
To use this option, you need a credit card and access to a computer with a printer.
Go to our website at
www.cic.gc.ca and select “On-Line Services” from the menu bar at the top, then “Payment of fees through the Internet”.
Once you have paid the fees, you must print the official receipt and fill out by hand the “Payer Information” section. Attach the bottom portion (copy 2) of this receipt to your completed application.
Option 2. Payment of fees with an international bank draft or money order
STEP 1. Use Table 3 to calculate the fees required.
STEP 2. Obtain an international bank draft or money order.
The bank draft or money order must be made payable to the Receiver General for Canada and be in Canadian funds for the required amount. You should ensure that the bank draft or money order can be cashed through a Canadian financial institution and clearly indicates on its face the name and complete address (must not be a post office box number) and/or the transit and account numbers of the financial institution in Canada where it may be cashed. Incomplete or improper identification of the financial institution may result in processing delays and even in the return of your application.
STEP 3. Include the bank draft or money order with your completed sponsorship application.
