Just like to point this out as I have come across many people in Canada that don't understand a Visa debit card. A Visa debit card will act like a credit card and withdraw money straight from the account, if the funds are available if not then it will go on as credit into an overdraft on the account. I use my Visa debit card for all transactions that require credit cards.
Completely agree. Visa Debit card can be used anywhere they ask for a Credit card. I am using visa debit card (with international transaction opened) and have not faced any difficulty so far.

I am an applicant for Canada PR, with an express entry profile.

My profile may get picked up in coming CIC draws, as am close to nomination from Saskatchewan.

To pay application fee as shown in this link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/inFORMation/fees/result.asp?countrySelect=IN&lob=eepr

To pay your fees you will need:
a Visa®, MasterCard® or American Express® credit card
a valid email address.


Can I use my VISA Debit card instead of VISA Credit card? I do not have credit card.

Debit card actually debits amount from my savings account, on a given transaction.
You may use a visa debit card. I have already applied for PR and I used my visa debit card to make the payments as I do not have a credit card hope this helps.

Yes, you can use your VISA debit card to pay the application fee for Canada PR through the Express Entry system. Since VISA debit cards are linked to your bank account and work like credit cards for online transactions, they should be accepted as long as they bear the VISA logo. Just ensure that your debit card has enough funds available for the transaction. If you encounter any issues, it's a good idea to contact the customer service of the payment processor or your bank for assistance.
