Bank draft in Canadian dollars
We have just completed all our forms - finally! We are sending the forms to the London Visa office & I just can't find who to make the bank draft payable to.
We would appreciate advice on this - thanks

"The Receiver General For Canada"
And you have to tell them that it will be paid in Canada.

I can tell you that it is a great feeling to get application away. You are probably onto this already but just in case just make sure that you use a tracking system when you send your application. It is a great feeling to see when it has arrived too.

Re: Bank draft in Canadian dollars
We just sent a letter to Calgary we wanted to make sure it arrived...I paid for "International signed for" when I sent it, and tried to track it online. However, the trail stops once it was passed to the overseas dept for shipping! 
There is a service called "Airsure", which is priority service both here and abroad, but only to 26 countries, of which Canada is not one!! USA yes, Canada no.
If anyone has found a sure way to track mail all the way to destination in Canada I'd be interested to hear of it please.

Oops just realised, you are sending it to London anyway, not Canada, ... well just ask at the post office. The above question still stands though please.

Re: Bank draft in Canadian dollars
follow this link for your records you can print off details to make sure you send it correctly. This is the Canadian High Commission site.
http://www.canada.org.uk/visa-info/fees/e_fees.htm
Don't forget name and address on back.
This is the site not everyone can find, as most of the forms are on the main CIC website. This is specific for London, and where details of fees and cheque payments lurk for London applicants.
