Application fees

[Singlemum_chennai]

Hi experts,

I decided to go with Bank Draft as opposed to Credit card as I have heard a lot of horror stories about application coming back because CC was declined or bank didnt recongnize the payer so they stopped teh payment etc. Here are few questions about Bank draft:
1. SHould I go to any bank in Chennai and ask them I need a bank draft of 700 CAD?
2. Is it required that the bank I choose should have a branch in Canada?
3. Generally to make DD you have to pay the bank, what if my application comes back , how can I get the money back from bank? Can I cancel the DD and get my money back?
4. What is the difference between Register Check vs Bank Draft? What is preferred for Application payment mode?

Thanks,

Hello there.

1. Yes please. Go to any bank and ask if they raise bank draft in Canadian dollars
2. The bank does not need to have a branch in Canada
3. If you application is returned and with your bank draft along with it, you just need ti take the bank draft back to the originating bank and they will cancel it and pay you back. If CIC already encashed your bank draft before rejection, CIC will raise a bank draft in your name and send to you to encash.
4. Just do a google search on this.

I inquired with HDFC bank, my local bank and they said that DD is only valid for 3 months as per RBI guidelines. Are there anyother option to pay other than credit card? My brother lives in US and he said that he can get a DD from US bank and I can send my application to him and he can cross check my application, add DD and send it to canada.

Can I do that? In payment form, there is an option where if the payer is different from the principal applicant, all we have to do is give his name and address.

Thanks. The application reached my nrother. But here is an issue. He went to Bank of America to make a draft and they said he need to provide the address of Payee as well. What is the address ? The form only says to make DD for "Receiver General for Canada" , it doesnt say any address?

Payee address is CIC's address, same address your brother will send the complete application to.
