RPRF online payment issues

Hi guys,

I paid my RPRF through the Interac Online application. Unfortunately, the page after I confirmed the payment failed to load. As a result I haven't received a receipt that I can mail to CPP-O to show them I paid. However, on my online banking, it shows the $490 was payed to CIC. I sent screenshots of the online banking and E-Services to CPP-O hoping they would see that I indeed paid my RPRF before the deadline.

Has anyone had a similar problem? How did you resolve it? Do you think they will still accept the payment if they look through their files and see I paid?

I'm freaking out a bit about this now. :eek:

Hi

Don't panic. First thing, did you use a Debit or Credit card?

Next, most of the time, when you make an online payment like this, there's usually a "block" of that amount on your card/account. If the funds didn't get to CIC probably due to a poor network connection, it's still with your banker. Email your banks card services and they will confirm this for you. If there was indeed a block and it didn't go through, the bank will reverse the block within 24-48 hours depending on their policy and you can attempt payment again but this time, with a very good internet connection.

Either way, don't wtorry. Here's a tip::
What do I do if I run into technical problems with my online application to CIC?

I used a debit card for the payment. I called the bank, but the payment went through. Now I think it's up to CIC to find it in their system, but I'm not sure how that would work.

And yeah, I sent an email to the web help as well. I am just panicking a bit because my RPRF has to be received by April 26, and if there is a problem processing it for a long time I don't want it to negatively impact my decision. I'm quite stressed. :(

Hi Lalooni,

So, what was the outcome in your case?

I went ahead and made the RPRF payment. Since I don't have a credit card, I made the payment with my debit card. As soon as I made the payment I've received a receipt of payment. Out of curiosity, I checked my internet banking account and found the amount in 'Amount in Holds' section which is deducted from my Available balance. So, I called the bank and they have mentioned that there is no hold from their end and they are simply waiting for the merchant to claim for it. They will only keep the money like that for the next 14 days after that it will be credited back to the account.

My question is-
Have anyone else experienced the same i.e. The payment amount getting deducted from available balance and stays as a hold/pending balance? Does CIC immediately takes the money or claim it after few days?
If the payment does not get through then will I get a rejection for this?

Please share your thoughts!

Thanks
Alifur
