difficulty sending my application

[Andrea45]

Hi,
please can anyone tell me the easiest way to pay for my application fee? the banks in my country cannot raise a draft in canadian dollar for me.
Secondly, i will like to know how long it takes for processing my sent application?
thanks

Best way is using your credit card. Its better because you can easily track if they already charged you or not.

You can use a credit card

You can check the processing time in the CIC website:

Good luck!

No, you only send a photocopy of your passport.

Thanks Kabayan.

I have more questions. For the bank statement, what is the minimum amount to be in it for me and my spouse? how long does this amount have to be in the account before i send my application?

Secondly, i am the principal applicant, does my spouse need to send his employment and reference letter too?

Finally, (i m being a little too ambitious right now) i intend to send my application on the 2nd of Nov, when will i get the first response and when do u think we will leave for Canada?
