PLZ Note that CIC clearly indicated that it doesnt accept online payments for skilled worker

here's the statement :
Fill out the Fee Payment Form (IMM 5620) and include it with your application. We currently do not accept online payments for skilled workers.


then go to tab of pay application fees

we still must pay by CC or DD .. take care

I called CIC and they mentioned the amount matters and not the program as the Online receipt is not associated with any immigration program.
But as you guys mentioned it may be a hassle if my application reaches after the 300 CAP which is most likely to happen.

I would also like to say my situation is unique as I would be eligible for Canadian Experience Class by December and I would not go through the refund procedure and use the same fee receipt if my application doesnt make within the cap.

Online Fee payment is the easiest and the most efficient way as no bank issues or security issues and no way CIC can deny because of payment issues.

If CIC doesnt want online payment for FSWP then why they have mentioned it as preferred form of payment in Information guide for FSWP ? There is a very good refund process and easy also. I suggest people to use this as this would eliminate all the hassles.

Hi, I'm willling to add my info in that spreadsheet, how can I?

This is the FAQ from CIC Online Payment services

Q. 7: What do I do if the amount on the receipt is correct but I have checked the wrong service?

The receipt is not linked to a specific service. If the receipt is for the correct amount, you can submit it with your application regardless of the service you checked when you made the purchase online.

The Demand draft can be re-validated by paying a small fee to the issuing bank. So if the DD is valid for 3 months, you can add another term of 3 months by approaching the issuing bank before original expiry date.This is applicable to local DD's and should be the same for foreign currency DD's. :

Anyway, Contact your bank and also inform the forum if you are able to get it revalidated. Hope this helps! 8)

CONGRATULATION

Hi All

Long Long Long waiting has finally come to an end. I received my PER email yesterday at 6 PM Indian Time. It was a dreadful last 3 months just waiting endlessely and hoping for the best. I had almost lost hopes and didnt have the courage to update my records in this forum. So i remained as a silent spectator.

Learning

1> My DD got enchased on 17th July and bank still claims that they have no clue on this. So donot take this approach.
2> Applications are sorted and processed rigorously based on date received is again a wrong assumption. I have see on this spreadh sheet tracker that application received on 21st May got PER almost 2 to 3 days back itself. My applicaiton was reached on 16th May and i got PER on 26th July.
So there might be several reasons for which there might be a delay in processing.
3> Calling CIC and sending emails to them is just not going to work.. Atleast it did not work for me.

i just confirmed this with my bank and they said its not possible to re-validate your dd of foreign currency ???

The Demand draft can be re-validated by paying a small fee to the issuing bank. So if the DD is valid for 3 months, you can add another term of 3 months by approaching the issuing bank before original expiry date.This is applicable to local DD's and should be the same for foreign currency DD's. :
