Hello Everyone,

I am currently applying for a study permit and i'm not sure i quite understand the approved means of payment. It says:
We accept:

  • Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express® or JCB® credit cards (including prepaid cards)
  • Visa® Debit and Debit MasterCard®(for online applications only),
  • UnionPay® (for online applications only; debit cards not accepted), and
  • Debit cards (issued from a participating Canadian bank).
Debit card users must be enrolled in online banking to pay their fees online.

I have a Naira MasterCard, i don't know if i can use this to pay. Or do i have to find someone living in canada with a canadian dollar credit card to pay for me. Or can anyone with a US dollar credit card pay for me. I've been on this all day. School resumes soon and i'm missing some of the process deadlines already. I'll be grateful if anyone can help me with this.
P.S i contacted my bank and they said i can make intl payments with the naira master card but i'm not sure if this applies to CIC payment as they have their own rules.
