CEC fee payment questions

[iam_toby]

Hey guys,

it's me again. This time I have a few questions about the fees I need to pay for my CEC application.

1. If I mail my application in less than 2 months, when should/can I pay the fees?
2. I'm the principal and only applicant in my application, should I only pay $550 for the application and wait with the RPRF fee or pay $550+$490 right away?
3. ( Think this one already got answered somewhere else, however ) What method do you recommend to pay the fees? Online or Credit Card?

Thanks a ton!!

In my case I sent the fee payment form and charged by credit card [i think that is the best method]
Once you send application, they generally take 2 to 8 weeks of time to charge your credit card (in my case they charged the credit card nearly after 5 weeks)
RPRF thing comes way later, after your Medicals or during.

Use online fee payment instead of giving credit card number, Check the post below

Ya, think I'd prefer online, but how much am I supposed to pay?
$550 only for now and RPRF later? Or both together?
And when? Should I wait until I mail my application or could I pay like a few weeks before?

 

[iam_toby]

Read that by CIC it's preferred only to pay $550 for the application
and $490 RPRF when requested by CIC.
Last question is still unanswered tho,

when should I pay? A week before I mail my application, the same day I mail or 4+weeks before I mail?
Does it matter at all?

doesn't matter, just keep the payment receipt with the application, you should be good.

So if I pay today, about 1 1/2 months before I mail the application, I should be good just keeping the receipt and
mailing it along with my application? Is that what you're saying?

Another question on Fee Payment

I am paying by Demand Draft payable in Canadian funds. Which part of the Fee payment form should I fill?

why don't you pay online??

 

[praveenkumarsr]

I am in India and I have Indian credit card. Due to the high exchange rates, paying through Indian credit card is expensive with all the processing fee. So opted for a DD instead

Just a question..
If you have already worked in Canada for a year, than how come you didn't get Canadian CC at that time??

As far as I know due to high exchange rates, if you are buying CAD to make DD from a bank it will cost you almost same money in INR.
Probably you will end up saving $40-50..

That's the sad part. I submitted my application when I was in Canada with a check. But it was returned because I missed to certify it from the bank. Now I am re-applying from India

 

[praveenkumarsr]

When a DD is submitted, which portion of the Fee payment form needs to be filled? Do we need to sign too?

Hello,

I am going to apply under CEC soon. Please guide me for fee payment. I am only Principal applicant.

I am thinking to pay via bank draft or money order.

Please guide me so I don't make mistake.

Thanks,
