I have a BMO debit card (also a Mastercard) and I do have Interac online payment. My BMO debit card has a daily withdrawal limit of $500 so it's not working for the spousal sponsorship payment. I tried to do it through the websites Interac option but my bank isn't even listed as one of the options. How can I pay? :(

Ask a family member or friend with a higher limit card to pay.

There's no way my bank could just raise my withdrawal limit? I mean, I'm not trying to use it as a credit card. The money is there in my account I just want to use the card to pay it. Unfortunately I don't have any family/friends with the means or willingness to do that. CIC won't accept a money order sent with my application?

Have you tried calling your bank? I don't know how Canadian banks do it, but I had no issues temporarily raising limits on my debit cards in Europe when I needed it (like when I was buying plane tickets and the like).

Have you actually called your bank yet? Might want to try that as a first step.

Call or visit a branch of BMO t increase your limit this can be done on the spot.

Fixed it! Just made the payment and I'm sending the packet tomorrow. Eeek!

There's a portion that says, if we aren't living together, we have to provide conversations. The problem is that she spends almost every night with me and when we aren't together we chat constantly through Facebook messenger. "Constantly" sounds like an exaggeration but it's really not, lol. I don't know what to include. I included screenshots of two conversations from this week, a bunch of Facebook posts, letters from a friend, family member, and colleague, and we printed 20 photos of us on various outings by ourselves and with friends and family. Should this be enough to prove that our relationship is genuine? They also want travel documents showing she came to visit me but since she lives right on the US/Canada border she just drives over. It takes five minutes and her passport isn't stamped. Instead, I included a copy of her TRP. We've been married for almost two years (it will make two years on the 21st of this month) and together for almost five years. We were also living together in the states and I have tax records to show that.

Do you guys think this is enough to satisfy them that she visits me and that our relationship is for real?
