gentleiphy:

I think CIC specified the draft to be raised in CAD not USD,however I wouldn't know if they also said RPRF should also be in CAD..so let's confirm and be sure before forumites start raising drafts in USD only to be rejected.
Slya:

RPRF: Pay the Right of Permanent Residence fee. For current fees and methods of payment, please see:http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/ghana/visas/fees-frais.aspx?view=d
The above was part of the mail i received. And if you go to the link you will see a more detailed instructions on payments. However i do not know if it applies to other fees. Just check the link and see how it applies to your case! Good luck.
ferdimako:

U can pay in USD...it is 450usd for RPRF. I believe u can raise DD of 505usd for d initial payment. Everything is on that Link.
It is costlier in USD...between 18-20usd difference.
[b]Please be careful in your interpretation of what is on the Accra immigration website.
All information on the link( http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/ghana/visas/fees-frais.aspx?view=d&lang=eng ) is only valid for correspondence between an applicant and Accra visa office.......and not applicants with CIC.
The $505 or any US dollars drafts you saw there is only valid mostly and specifically for a principal applicant adding a spouse to his or her application package after having the files transferred from CIC to Accra .
In a nutshell ,at the initial stage of submission that you are sending your documents to CIC in Canada,if your option is draft,applicants are EXPECTED to raise it in Canadian dollars AND NOT US dollars.An extract information from CIC website is seen below..
"Payment method options
Complete the Fee Payment Form - Application for Permanent Residence (IMM 5620) and include it with your application to the CIO. On-line payments are not accepted by the CIO.In Canadian funds only, you may payby certified cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the "Receiver General for Canada." orwith a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express)"
Any applicants that raised a contrary draft other than Canadian dollars will find his or herself to be blamed as the application package will be returned back unprocessed .

My application was returned last week because i did not fill the "Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) (PDF, 79 KB)" for my spouse..Ouch!!!, i must have missed it while preparing my application. Intending applicants, please take note.
Thankfully, my NOC 2281 is not even up to 50% yet so hopefully i can still make it.

@Scrollmeout, my app was received on June 18 and my friend that we submitted together was debited around oct 8, i was devastated at that point, calling my bank everyday..So while preparing a new app as suggested by folks here, you might want to check your mail incase they've returned yours too so you can know where you got it wrong..

Hey guys,
I am worried and scared to my pants now. I haven't gotten my WES report and its been 21 days.
Should I just go ahead and order a duplicate by courier? That's the only thing remaining for me
My NOC 0111 must not fill up before mine o.
Re: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by pickabeau1: 8:43am On Nov 10, 2014
Sorry about that

However you willdo well to refer to the common causes of rejection posted by solomonwis so that this does not repeat itself

A lot of useful information is on this thread from page 1 but a lot of people dont bother reading

This isa life changing decision, it is good to consider all information

Sorry once again and better luck next time

Thanks,
I have been preparing my app, and been away on official assignment. I noticed someone say that GTB has resumed the issuance of the
CAD draft. Can someone please confirm if it is available at their Oyin Jolayemi branch?

@Yankerdream, i check my mail at least 3 times a week, and will continue to do so as advised.

@Damkollins. Thanks for your help too. I was at BC today after their hiatus from the office for a week. Fortunately, i was told that another set of TRFs will be produced for me as long as i can produce evidence of my FSWP application and a letter written to explain the need for another set (my wife and i). I promptly did that and i requested to pick it u personally, although i was told it night take more than a week.

In any case, i'll still prayerfully await my app so as to ascertain what went wrong.

@pickabeau... Thanks for helping me review my new app. i have made some slight modifications, and i will appreciate it if you could do this again. Can someone else pleaseeeee offer to review it too wink. This time i am particular about my 'experience certificate'

I don't have a contact I did mine myself. It's a full time job if u wants it early enough. You have to be fully on ground to monitor the movement otherwise it may spend ages on a table.

It should go...not that any is local. They all belong to companies that operate centrally..MasterCard, Visa, American Express etc. Meanwhile, It is 1400CAD or $1400CA...don't use the dollar sign and dollar at the same time.
