This is quite strange. What I know is that SABB credit cards and enabled for international transactions by default. You don't need to tell anything to the bank. I used my SABB credit card and CIC charged it without any issues.
They told me the same when I enquired. They asked me to call the Authorization Center on 800 124 4477 and tell them that there might be a charge expected from Canada and that you want them to approve and not stop it.

I decided not to take the risk and paid with DD from SABB

Guys,
on the main FSW 2014 thread, a valuable member (forum name - ToCanadawithLove - unfortunately he got his file returned) has posted "Reason of Returns Letter" written by CIC to him. he has uploaded the whole letter.


This is the checklist which CIC use to verify whether our applications are complete or not (when they receive our applications at CIO -NOVA SCOTIA)


so i request to you (everyone) who is going to apply, please read this document carefully and make sure you do not make any mistake which is listed.


click on the image, it will become large.



please also pray for that member, may God help him to get success for his new application.

If they instructed you to submit PP's at Riyadh office than your visas will not be issued from Islamabad

Submitted passport:Islamabad office on 11 th September 2014 still waiting for passports to return back.

LVO requested to send passport to Riyadh office but my family member passport were in home country and my visa status was also work visit visa as I work as consultant so it was not possible to submit at Riyadh office..otherwise Saudi would have put me in jail for over staying.I wrote to London office about the issue but they did not respond so I decided to submit it any way after returning from Saudi to Pakistan office

lucky you :) Inshallah your application will be processed. unlike me i am still collecting documents, verifying degrees from CES.
anyways can you please tell me the format of bank certificate/ letter? what should be written in that letter? and is it enough to have a normal print out of bank statement?
thanks in advance,
CES processing time is too long, 11 weeks on average, I have used WES, 3-4 weeks and you have your report ready.
