I'm applying to the French Speaking Skilled Worker Stream,
I have to pay the fees (1500$CAD) but neither my bank or postal office can make a payment in $CAD. It's all the time printed in Euros (€).
Did you get this problem? If so, how did you do?

I am not sure from which country you are trying to apply for a foreign currency bank draft. If you can mention the country other people from the forum may be able to help you.

I encountered the same problem when submitting my application. I found that travelers checks are a good option. What OINP wants is a certified form of payment (a check that they know is already payed for). So what I did was purchase American Express travelers check in Canadian Dollars and I also attached the receipt of purchase in my application, to show them that I personally purchased them and that the funds in the check is already payed for and readily available.
I called the bank back and even though they still told me it wasn't possible to get a $CAD check, I asked (insisted) to speak to someone from the international department.
Someone call them for me and then she apologized because it was possible. (Because the request "is not frequent", they didn't know)
She has sent the protocol to my counselor and I had an appointment with her to fill the forms to get it.
Ho my god this is wonderfull, which bank was it ? and what is the name of this cheque ? is it Cheque de Banque ou Mandat Postal ?
Thank you in advance.
I tried to send you PM but I don't know if it's working, I don't see my reply.
My bank is "Crédit Agricole", but I've seen people using the "International department call" for other banks.
I think every bank can do it, it's just the fact that if they don't know how to do it, they will tell you that it's not possible.
It's a "Cheque de banque".
My counselor ask me an address but I gave her the address where I've sent the form (the postal address on the application guide).
