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.

Welcome to the forum and the waiting game. :beer:

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.

Haven't got the bank draft yet so still waiting to send off application. What tracking system do you mean? Sorry - very new to this!

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.

edit:
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.

Wes sent our application stuff to Vancouver via UPS, cost £26, tracked all the way, even to the point you could see which airport it was at....

Re: Bank draft in Canadian dollars
 

Crazy but true, you can only track it until it's left the country...but, if my recent experiences are anything to go by, that's the dangerous part of its journey - once it's out of Royal Mail's hands it has a pretty high chance of being delivered safely :D

Pardon my ignorance...what does UPS stand for? :confused:

And Biiiiink, ....I have heard truly bad things about the Canadian postal service, though I admit it's hard to imagine they are worse than the UK!!


Morw :D

Just like the other posters have eluded to use a delivery method by which you are informed that your documents have been delivered.

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.

I used UPS a few weeks ago to send my documents to my lawyer in Toronto

I cannot fault them, and I tracked them the whole journey,

Took them 4 days, posted friday and they guaranteed them by 10am monday morning, They arrrived at 10.08am on Monday morning

Cost was £34
