Hi guys,

1. What is the acceptable payment to the London Visa Office; is it by bank draft or cheque because on the visa specific instruction website, there seems to be a conflict on what they want......initially, it says;

a federal skilled worker......pay the processing fees to the CIO in Canadian funds. Fees are payable by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) or to the "Receiver General for Canada" by:certified cheque, •bank draft, or •money order.Do not enclose cash.Note: Refer to the Payment Instructions in this section for the Right of Permanent Residence Fee. Then below it it says:

Payment Instructions
Consult the Fees section of our Web site or the Guide for Skilled Worker Applicants to calculate your fees. You must use a bank draft payable to the order of the “Receiver General for Canada” in Canadian dollars. Do not enclose cash..

2. My second question is; when are we meant to pay this money? Is it when submitting application and documents to the visa office in london or when they ask you to go and do medicals?

I will appreciate contributions from forum members. Thanks.

There are two types of payments ,

1 - The application fee which you have to submit along with the application.
2- Landing fee, which when instructed from the Visa office (most probably along with medicals or after medicals) has to be sent.

The best way to sent is by BANK DRAFT.
You can get it done from any bank or Money Exchange.


Cheers..

1) bank draft or cheque are the same things. but you cannot send personal cheque from your cheque book. it should be in canadian dollars and if you you go to bank they will give you a bank draft drawn on foreign bank in canadian dollars.

2) RPRF is payable at time of medicals. Do not send it now. they will ask you at the time of medicals.

hi

there is 2 types of payment
1st one processing fee

550 CAD for principle applicant
550 for spouse
550 for any member older than 22 y
150 for any member younger than 22 y

this fee should be send with full application to Canada - CIO
you can use bank draft , bank Check . or credit card

2nd one is RPRF (RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENCY FEE )

490 for principle applicant
490 for spouse

this fee you have 2 choices to sent it

-you can send it with the full application to Canada
-and you can send it later on to London V.O when they ask for medical
but you have to know that London V.O only accept bank draft or bank Check ,,,, they will not accept credit card

i hope this will help

good luck
