As you see in the spreadsheets most people use Credit cards. I personally used my credit card as well.

It's really up to you, but there are many factors that can help you decide.

- How soon does your CC expire?
- do you always reach the limit of you credit card monthly?

Those are 2 I can think of. maybe more experienced members can put their 2 cents here as well

Money Order (or Bank Draft) is the safest method. To many people on this forum complained about lost/stolen/refused/compromised credit card which causes the application to be returned. Now if you are going to send the application before Express Entry starts and the application is returned, you probably wouldn't get another chance to send it under current system.

As I understand credit card is easier method (just fill the numbers in the payment form, and you do not need to go to the bank, and you provide less work for them) but it may cause issues due to unexpected things could happen.

hmmm....

Bank draft just takes 20 mins of your time to visit the branch but it surely is most safest... we never know if our credit cards are lost or compromised. so to protect yourself from unforeseen incident its better to use bank draft.

Yeah bank draft is the way to go. I also personally used credit card and it could of cost me months had it been stolen or lost.
