Hello VictorPapa and others,
I need an urgent advice/suggestions from you experienced folks. I am going to submit my PR application to CIO (MPNP nominee). Currently I am living in Beijing, China. My friend in Manitoba endorsed my application and I have got nomination on July 24, 2015. I was wondering how could I pay 1400 CAD from Beijing, China. So, I discussed this matter with one of my colleague in Toronto whether it is possible for him to pay by his credit card. Alternatively I was looking for Bank draft. Today I made a bank draft from Bank of China and at the same time my colleague also paid online. I have few specific questions:
1. Is there any chance CIC may ask my colleague about the relationship between he and me? Or it is not a concern for CIC who is paying in favor of me.
**No, the payer can be anyone paying on your behalf.
2. Which one should I retain, bank draft or online fee payment?
**You should send the online payment receipt with your application. As it's the most safest way to pay.
3. Is there any chance to cancel online fee payment,if there is, how my colleague can do that?
**You need to contact them by email. See the answer above.
4. In the online fee payment receipt, what should be the "client date of birth" and "client ID". Who is client here,me or my friend?
**It's your date of birth and your UCI, if any. The address should be your colleagues address used while paying.
5. Finally, Do I need to submit fee payment form (IMM5620) in addition with this online receipt, or the online receipt (bar coded) form is enough. No need to submit IMM5620?
**No need to send any form. Just the receipt.
Your kind advice is highly appreciated. Eagerly waiting for your responses.
Thank you,
Welcome
