Dear Brother,
Sorry for interruption. I got my MR request on 20 Oct from MVO. Like tt12345 I also get phone call from MVO today morning around 7.30 AM, which is about 9.30 AM in Manila. A normal working hour of MVO for Friday (8.00 AM to 1.30 PM). Caller (she) address me by my last name and ask for my DOB for security reason, which is obvious. I am too much certain that she has ascent like Philippines. After that she asked, if I received the MR mail. Then she asked me about my planing for MR and schedule. Then about my RPRF payment. She told me that, I can pay my fee online on the CIC website. I cannot find anything wrong in these. I checked my ECAS and there is a new line update saying..
We sent you correspondence on October 20, 2015. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
And in the instruction for payment of RPRF, no mention of DD only ONLINE PAYMENT.
My file transfered to MVO 09 Sep 2014. Its already been 13 months. MVO has average application processing time of 15 months. So, I think obviously they are in hurry.
I already paid the RPRF through CIC web service online and emailed the official receipt to MVO.
Please consider my situations and I do not think that was a scam call.
Of course we need to be careful, because scam is really out there.
Best of luck all with you application. Thanks.
