I wanted to post my conversation with Thomas Cook representative for the sake of those applicants who needs a confirmation on the validity of Demand Drafts from Thomas Cook:

Hi do you have any information on tracking the dd issued by them. I guess one cannot find out when the money gets encased.
Could you confirm

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I am aware that the validity of Demand Draft used inside India is 3 months as per RBI rule but I also have come to know from others
that the international demand draft holds a validity of 6 months. I have come across many forums where it is mentioned that the validity
for international demand drafts(Banks, Thomas Cook etc) is 6 months unless the validity is mentioned on the draft.
I would appreciate if you could reconfirm as this is of high importance. I have forwarded my application for Canadian Immigration and would
not want it to be rejected due to validity reason. There are also many other applicants who have taken DD in CAD from Thomas Cook for
the same purpose.
Thanks,
Nagini

Hello,
I have made a demand draft (In Canadian Dollars) from Thomas Cook for the purpose of applying for Canadian Immigration ( FSW-2014 ).
The validity is not mentioned on the DD. I have been hearing mixed opinions on the validity of international instruments as being
3 months / 6 months.
Could you please confirm the actual validity of foreign currency demand draft?
Thanks,
Nagini
