Funds made payable to WHOM of the followings?

[spring2009]

In the CIC website, they require the funds made payable to "Receiver General for Canada".

But in Buffalo website, they say "Canadian Consulate General".

Humm, what should I write on the check?
Thanks.

Are you applying under FSW1 to Sydney, NS? Then it is "receiver general for canada". Remember it cannot be a personal check.

Remember it cannot be a personal check.

It certainly can be a personal cheque provided you have a Canadian Dollars bank account in Canada.

Hi

Remember it cannot be a personal check.

It certainly can be a personal cheque provided you have a Canadian Dollars bank account in Canada.

It has to be a CERTIFIED cheque if it is from a personal account.

"In Canadian funds only, you may pay by certified cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the “Receiver General for Canada.”
Do not enclose cash. "

No. If you are applying to Sydney, buy a $Can money order from USPS. Otherwise if you are applying through Buffalo, check the website for the exact amount required in US funds, you don't do your own converting.
