I have paid my college fees through UBL bank for college fees they did the wire transfer but for GIC they said that it can be done through a dollar account.
Kindly please tell me have you paid GIC amount and through which method?
That’s correct, you have to transfer money for GIC with dollar account and for that you have to be a filer

I am applying for my brother in law. He got an admission in Seneca college for three years advance diploma in Computer Program and Analysis. None of the bank were helping us to send money from Pakistan to Canada to get GIC finally I spoke with an lawyer he told me in order to send dollars outside Pakistan one must open Foreign currency account and you can only open foreign currency account if you are tax filer. Now, we are trying to get my BIL tax filer first once it done then will open foreign currency account.
Is there any other way other than opening a foreign currency account?

For everyone who is asking about GIC:

-Your name needs to be on the active tax payers list (ATL) or if one your parent is on ATL then you can open a joint foreign currency account with your parent.
-You can only wire transfer education fee (any amount mentioned on the admission letter will be accepted) through local currency accounts so there's no other way but to open a foreign currency account for GIC payment
-I recently got my letter from scotia bank, Alhamdulillah! I processed my payment from meezan bank and the whole process took me almost a month, from opening the account to receiving investment directions letter.

This GIC process is pretty long and frustrating, but don't lose hope. :)

Is it possible that gic wire transfer can be sent through your father's foreign currency account?
