Hello Everyone,

I don't have a credit card , but I have Visa Debit card from TD. Is it possible to pay online with it?

From the CIC website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/result.asp?countrySelect=CA&lob=prcf
I see that they accept some debit cards, but I am not sure whether my debit card will work?

I will apply at the end of June and meanwhile I am wondering should I request the receipt IMM5401?
 
As stated at that site, a debit card affiliated with Visa or MasterCard will not work "as a debit card." You could try it as a credit card and see if that works.

It doesn't have to be your credit card. Just ask a friend to pay for you.

It seems that this card which I have from TD will not work out for the citizenship fee payment.
Thank you for the advice though

Does it really work that way, or they just want to have a successful transaction, hence the owner of the credit card might be a different person?

Yes, someone else (relative or friend) can use their credit card to make the payment. Here's another thread on that subject:
