Hello I keep getting a Transaction declined error using a Visa credit card and a mastercard debit card. All cards have enough funds/credit limits for the visa application. I already reported the issue but no one has gotten back to me yet. Anyone who had a same issue and found a workaround?

check with your card issuing bank if international transaction is enabled in your card…if not enable it

I have the same problem I have a complete application and I am unable to pay my study permit. I am trying to pay my study permit online in the last 4 days , however, it's unsuccessful. I keep getting the message Tranaction declined. I AM using a Master credit card, I have contacted my bank, they said 'we issue approval for the tranaction but it return declined with no reason'

Same problem with me, I am using MasterCard debit and I get Transaction Denied when trying to submit my application. I know that my card is valid with enough funds and I have previously bought services(currency for War Thunder game XD). So I can only assume the problem is with them.

I did notice that in my last three payment atempts the billing page has gone haywire, like greatly zooming in when entering card data and CVV.

Update:
I tried using my moms mastercard(Canadian) and it worked. I dont know why my vas declined, didnt contact the bank tho. If you can just ask someone from Canada to give you the data and just make a payment

Hi @Pharoah, did you get a solution to your issue? I've been trying to make payments with my master credit card but the transaction gets declined every time. I contacted the bank and they said it is not an issue with the bank or card. I've sufficient funds too and have made payments with the same card for a friend's visa application too previously.

Hi Friend, I am unable to pay my application fees, I think IRCC does not accept Temporary visa applications from outside Canada at the moment.
I know my credit card works, I have used it to pay for an international tranaction recently other than IRCC, and the tranaction approved.
I am applying from Egypt!!
Which country are you applying from?

Hello. I'm applying from India and have been using Indian credit card. I have reported technical issue on their website but no one got back to me. I know the cards are fine. It's an issue with their website. How did you know IRCC aren't accepting temporary applications from outside Canada?

Oh yes, that's right. Canadian cards are working it seems. I'll post an update if my Indian card works or if I find a work around. Good luck

If you can ask someone who has a Canadian credit or debit card do it that way. Just ask that person the card number and the three digit number behind the card(CVV number I think), and the name on which the card is issued.
That worked for me, I dont have any idea for different aproach

Thanks @Nemanjar. I used my friend's American credit card and it worked.
@Pharoah as nemanjar suggested, use a Canadian or American card to make your payment. It should work.

I am adding this hoping it will be useful to people facing this issue. In my case, the IRCC payment system failed to work with authentication of my card issuer (Caixa Geral de Depositõs). Tried few cards from other issuers e.g. Ctt, but all transaction attempts were declined.

Workaround:
I signed up for a new Revoult account, created a Revoult card (Visa debit) and topped-up from my bank (using ATM card to top-up Revoult account). Then used the Revoult card to pay.
