Hi,
In which currency would you suggest paying RPRF, CAD$490 (bank draft) or Php19,900 (manager's cheque)? Although the website says it's advisable to pay in CAD$ due to currency fluctuation. Because if I opt to pay in CAD$, the cheque's funds has to come from The Bank of Nova Scotia as the cheque that BPI(local bank in the Philippines) issues shows the name The Bank of Nova Scotia. Then the drawee is The Receiver General for Canada. Are they going to wait until it will be encashed or withdrawn from The Bank of Nova Scotia (which has no branch in Philippines) before they continue processing my application?
Where as, if I choose to pay in Php. The drawee will be the Embassy of Canada (Manila) which they can easily encash or withdraw the cheque. However, the website says that the Fee Schedule is in effect as of January 30, 2013. I will be sending my RPRF payment on 28 January 2013. What if after January 30, 2013 it increases from Php19,900 to more, and they haven't opened yet my mail containing the cheque?
1. was wondering if its gonna affect the speed of processing my application as to when they can encash or withdraw the CAD$ bank draft for RPRF.
2. I don't know If I can send them like Php20,500 or Php21,000. Which is more than the stated equivalent amount of Php19,900.
