Hi, Can anyone explain what is a bank draft in convertible currency? Thank you!
Where did you get this from? Usually that is requested for study permits, not for TRVs.

It is in my personal checklist.
Be sure to have the correct list.

The bank draft should be in a currency that is accepted (convertible) by Canadian business, for example exchange stores, banks, department stores, etc. When you go the bank to buy it ask them to:

1.- Give it to you in CAD, or;
2.- Give it to you in currency that is accepted in Canada (USD, GBP, MXN, EUR, JPY, KRW, etc.)

It is preferred to have the bank draft in CAD or USD. For Singapur dollars you will have to ask in the bank where you will be buying the bank draft.
