Can I use Debit card?

[sham_visa]

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 must use Credit Card only, its not necessary to pay the fees from your own card, you can pay the fees from your brother/friend's Credit Card.

+1. I will manage to get a credit card from one of my friends.

What is the CIC fee for an applicant+spouse+daughter(6 year old)

Principal applicant -- 550
Spouse -- 550
Daughter --- 150

All above would be in Canadian Dollars.


You can pay RPRF fees along with the above fees at the time of submission (but its not required). However if you pay, then it will save some days.

you have to pay RPRF for you and your wife only
that would be 490+490

You mean, before I receive the Canada PR approval, do I again need to pay 490+490?

In case, if you won't pay RPRF,
then before getting your PPR, they will send you a request to pay your RPRF otherwise they will not process your application,
I think they give 7 days time as a deadline to pay RPRF.

Did you already apply to CIC? If yes, did you include RPRF with your application?

Yeah I have already applied with the RPRF upfront.

nowadays majority of candidates are paying the RPRF upfront.

when you say, applied with RPRF upfront, it means, you mention the credit card number for deducting RPRF, correct?
If yes, Does the amount 550+550+150 gets deducted in one transaction and 490+490 in another transaction(after some days)?

No,
If you are willing to pay together then total amount would be deducted at once, there wouldn't be two transactions.

 

[nickarter84]

So, CAD 2230 would be deducted from the card at once.

Hi All

I just submitted my application by paying with my VISA Debit card and received a message "TRANSACTION APPROVED THANK YOU" with all other details like Response code, reference number etc. Does that mean my payment is done and received by CIC ? Money is debited from my account too.

Does that mean my payment is done and received by CIC ? and i dont need to worry about it ? Or sometime later they would come back asking for a credit card for payment ?

Thanks
Jagan

If you've received the Confirmation Of Application Transmission message and Payment Receipt in your MyCIC inbox, the payment is done.

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.
