Re: help: documents returned coz funds paid in canadian dollars sent in buffalo,

Send the correct U.S. dollar amount to Buffalo. You can't send payment to a Canadian office if your application was already begun in Buffalo.

Re: help: documents returned coz funds paid in canadian dollars sent in buffalo,

Sorry, this makes no sense.

What application did you submit to Buffalo? If it was the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) application, the initial application with the application fee in CAD goes to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia, NOT to Buffalo. Re-read the instructions.

If not the FSW application, then, what was it?

5. Submit your application

Mail your application and your fee to the Centralized Intake Office for Federal Skilled Worker Applications in Sydney, Nova Scotia (Canada). For more detailed information, including courier and mailing addresses, consult the federal skilled worker application package.

Please note: You must submit your federal skilled worker application to the Centralized Intake Office and not to the visa office responsible for your country of nationality or residence, as was the case in the past.

For more detailed information, consult the Federal Skilled Worker Application Package.

Jes is correct here.. what application have you sent to Buffalo?? Should be to CIO where you pay the fee and that also in CAD not in USD.. you should pay NO fee to Buffalo
