Methods of payment?

Hi,

How do I go about paying my processing fees?

I am applying through Pretoria, South Africa, but currently finding myself in the USA. Do they accept bank transfers?What would be the easiest why of getting it done?

If you are applying at an office outside Canada
You can find information on fee payment methods at the website of the visa office (immigration applications) or the Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate (proof of citizenship applications) responsible for your area. Visa and consular offices cannot accept receipts for fees paid in Canada.

Note: Personal cheques are not accepted as payment

or
•Obtain an international money order or bank draft, in Canadian funds, made payable to the Receiver General for Canada.
•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).
•Submit the money order or draft with your application.

Somewhat surprisingly, the U.S. office (in Buffalo) accepts web receipts for family sponsorships only, so yes, check the website for Pretoria to see how they want you to pay.

Hello again all!

So my application has been sent in about 2 weeks ago....have not heard anything back yet which is expected!

I have been doing some more research and was wondering what your thoughts are on the IMM5401 Receipt form? The site for South Africa does not mention submitting the form, which I have not done! All I did was attached the money order to my application and sent it to Mississauga. I also realized that I did not write my address on the back of the money order.

Is this a problem?

Please help!!!!

No, I'm pretty confident that you don't send the form to South Africa. That is for visa offices that accept payments made at banks in Canada or online.

As for not writing your address, I don't suppose it's critical. It probably means they'll have to write it themselves. They may not be happy about that, but I think that's what they'll do.
