Hey,
I need quick help. I have to pay fees for Working Holiday (100C$ + 150C$), and it says, that only credit and prepaid cards are acceptable. The problem is, that I don't know anyone with such card, so I may have problems with payments.
But I also read the same about eTA (that credit or prepaid is required), and when I tried to use my debit card, it passed and I got e-mail, that application is "approved". I want to do the same with WH fees, but I don't know, whether AFTER system accept that, they'll get money, etc., they won't make problems because I used debit card instead of credit or prepaid (even if it was accepted by system).

1. Well if you look under My application on the IRCC site, and state what you are applying for and the country. You will probably get the following statement

Pay online

You will be asked to pay your fees when you submit your work permit application through MyCIC. You can pay this fee with one of these credit cards (prepaid cards are accepted):

Visa®
MasterCard® or
American Express®

This is the only way you can pay this fee."

Yes, I know, but shouldn't card be just rejected in such situation? Because it worked with eTA (while there's exactly the same information about payment methods there, but I read it after I made payment).
Is this possible that my card will be accepted, and then it will be problem after time or something?
And is "virtual" prepaid card acceptable though? Because it could be accepted by system, and then rejected after or something (like my debit, which seems to works).
