Credit Card fraud

[ponchita]

I filled out payment form w/ my credit card.
But today I found out my card No was stolen and I have to obtain new one.
I just sent out application couple days ago.
Is there anything I can notify Canada?
Or I just have to wait my application is returned to me?
Help Me.

Just fill in a new payment form with the new card details and send it ASAP precising that the former one should be disregarded.

In addition to what Sango said, Send and email to CIO about it ASAP.

It could happen any other credit card again, so I'm gonna purchase money order.
Do you know CIC contact e-mail? I couldn't find it. I could only find Phone No.

BOTH the case same, but hile you are sending Draft OR Card Payment, write all your details, and your name as on the IMM0008 behind the Draft. NEKEOL

General speaking a bank draft is far better for processing fees than credit card if you're able to obtain one.

Not only are there issues with fraud/credit cards expirying etc, but also most banks and card companies have automated security software on their credit cards and for overseas transactions such as CIC processing fees, the security can easily block the transaction (this has happened in cases even where the applicants has phoned the credit card company ahead of time to warn them of the incoming transaction).

I had the same problem and I can state from personal experience that as long as you act fast, you would not have any problem.
Please refer to this thread. It worked for me. Good luck!
