CIC will try and get the payment authorized several times and over several days. If they fail then unfortunately they will return your application due to payment issues and they won't necessarily notify you before that or give you any other payment options.weswes said:Can someone please advice with this dilemma?
My application for FSW was received on May 14th. I indicated as method of payment a valid credit card. In the meanwhile, unfortunately the credit card got lost, and I currently have a replacement, same number, but different security code, and different expiration date.
The credit card company said that when I activated this card the old one went automatically invalid.
So, I do need to inform CIC in the fastest way possible about the new credit card information.
What would be the best way to do it - send a letter with the updated payment sheet? Any other suggestions?
Does any one know what happens if the payment does not go through? Will they try to contact the sender or is the application automatically disqualified?
Thanks!
The only thing that you can do now is send the payment form again with the correct CC details and cite all your personal info in a cover letter such as name, DOB, Passport number etc.... But I must tell you that the general opinion is that it is almost next to impossible for the staff at CIO to match the new document you send to your existing application so it's a very long shot but worth a try.
If you already have a UCI number please include it with the firm as this makes it easier for them to match it to your application. Best of luck
