Bank Draft Question for Fee Payment

[cocomtl]

Good evening,

My question is that we are about to pay our fees for our Sponsorship application and we are wondering if we shoiuld be processing two bank drafts for the application. We are processing outside of Canada and will be paying for both sponsorship and Permanent Residency Fee together. Should the fees be a total of both Sponsorship and Permanent Residency or have them issue two drafts . Another question they ask on the site to indicate the bank street address and acct number where the draft will be cashed and we do not know these details, any suggestions.

Thank you for the feedback

I'm assuming you are sending a CAD bank draft to CPC-M along with the application. You can submit it either way, they will credit it to your file and then deduct the three different amounts from the credit amount.

Another question they ask on the site to indicate the bank street address and acct number where the draft will be cashed and we do not know these details, any suggestions.

I don't think that's what they want. The CIC instructions say:

"On the front of the money order or draft, write the financial institutions’ name, complete address (not a post office box number) and account number(s)."

So they aren't asking you where THEY are going to deposit it, they are asking where YOU got the draft. If it is a normal bank cheque then it will have all of this information on the document in the first place and you wouldn't need to do anything extra. Clearly, they must get some peculiar instruments at times and it may be challenging to negotiate them without that information.

So just verify that all this information is on the bank draft. If it isn't, ask them for the information and write it on the bank draft. I cannot imagine the account number won't be there, but they might use a post office box instead of the physical address. So write down the physical address - or mailing address if they don't have a physical address - on the bank draft.

Good luck!

I called about this a few days ago- they told me to pay all together in one sum and that the address thing should be a Canadian bank where it can be cashed, which the bank abroad should provide. I'm about 2 weeks away from paying so I'm not sure yet
