Please I want to know how to secure a bank draft in Canadian Dollars. I have been to almost all the banks I know in Lagos. I was told they only process US Dollars, Euro and Pound Sterlings. I need the Bank draft to process my immigration as Skilled Migrant applicant to Canada. You can contact me at aksamadak@yahoo.com or 08024021616.
Thanks

Get a Bank Draft in USD.

The Canadan Embassy when it comes to immigration visa payment for skilled workers  accepts no other payment but bank draft in Canadan Dollars.
Thanks

Which Canadian Embassy are you talking about? As far as I know, most Canadian embassies accept US funds or local funds.

The Canadian Embassy for Skilled Immigrant[/color] can only be processed in Ghana.
To submit the application in what they termed the Simplified process[color=#990000] requires one to submit a bank draft only in Canadian Dollars with one's application before it can be processed.
Thanks

aksa,
Your fees can be paid in us or ghanaian currency, go and check out their website.

Boy, the extract you pasted is the generic info on CIC website. You've been directed to the Accra website to calculate the fees.
Use bank draft in USD as suggested by Delta007, it is acceptable or you may call CIC Accra for confirmation. I will pay you 5k if I am wrong.

All the best.
