Thanks Babakura for the information.

Do I need to send bank statement and bank reference to CIC or just the forms, police cert, photos, etc that are requested. Sorry for all these questions, I just want to be sure.

Thanks everybody for your comments, please I would like to know if I can use my brothers credit card in winnipeg as I do not have a dom acct to raise the application fee.

Your advise/comments would be highly appreciated.
Yes you can use your brothers credit card for the payment of the application fee, besides you dont need a dom. account to effect the payment. If you have a naira master card (GTBANK) or naira visacard (Access Bank), you can use it to make your payment. I used my GTBank naira mastercard to make my own payment. I hope this info. helps? Cheers and best of luck

Hello giggle,

Its not only to have a mastercard with gtbank but you also need to have there internet banking and a devicecalled TOKEN.

You can work into any of there branches to get it done or if you are in lagos ,check me at gbagada branch of gtbank.

Olusheg, your information is not entirely true!!! I used my GTbank mastercard for my payment without a token. All I had to do was write my card number, expiry date, home address and number at the back of the card and my name on the fee payment form; then sign and that was it.....send and i assure you, you wouldn't have issues. That was what I did in my own case and the funds was debitted from my account.

Thanks for the advise, your points are well noted. I went to GTbank Awolowo Rd this morning to enquire and waited on queue for customer service for almost 15 min. and went to the counter, am sorry Oluseg the counter guy did not have a clue. I have decided to send my package to my brother with his CC details for him to sign and send to Nova Scotia.

Bukonla80 you are right all over the world that is how it is done but here nobody seems to know.

Bukonla80 you are right all over the world that is how it is done but here nobody seems to know.
Though you have submitted your application, what Bukonla said is correct. I used GTB Visa Classic card in US dollars to pay for my fee. I have a dom account which I paid US dollars into and later transfer the funds to my visa card and all I did was to quote the card number and the CVV (number at the back of the card) and my card was successfully charged.

I know you can also use GTB Naira mastercard but opted for the visa card which I have been using for the past 2 years now. So in a nutshell you dont need a token to use the card. All you need is transfer funds into the card and quote the card details and you are good to go.


Regards.

Thanks Bukonla and Emperor. I know it can be done but I wanted to be very sure. I used my second option of sending it to my brother in Manitoba, he signed the cc form and sent it to CIC and they got it today. I guess the waiting starts now.

Bukonla, I will sure give you a shout at any time.

Thanks everybody for your support. GOD BLESS.

Chiangel56!........did you choose ACCRA as your visa office when you sent in your application? because if you did, then I am almost certain your visa will be issued in ACCRA.....One more thing I am not too sure about this, but I guess you can transfer your case to a Visa Office in Canada since you reside in Canada.....Again I am not too sure about this, so I suggest you ask other seniors in the house. All the best....Cheers

Hi Bukonla80,

Thanks for your response . Yes I did choose Accra as my visa office. I wouldn't want to transfer my case to a visa office in Canada as the timeline is relatively long. I was just wondering if it is possible to courier once passport to Ghana and then receive it back with a return envelop. Anyone who has tried this should be advise me if this is an option

Thanks

Just curious chiangel56, are you from any of the countries whose PR applications are designated for processing in Accra?
