Hi all!

I've just submitted my PR application.
When I tried to pay the PR fees with my Bank of America card, the bank has declined the transaction. I used my different card to make a payment and it worked (this card is linked to the account in a Russian bank not listed in PoF section).

How Bank of America reached out to me about that transaction if I find it suspicious and if I want my account blocked. I said no, it's not suspicious and please don't block my account. What I noticed, is that the declined charge for the PR is now processing!

I don't worry that much about money at this point, I worry if this (double payment) will rise suspicion in IRCC and make them decline my application alltogether.
 
This is something you should sort out with Bank of America. Most likely it is not actually charged to your account, it is only a hold/pending transaction that will be removed in a few days.

As for IRCC, they will not decline because of this.

Thanks!
That's what actually happened, I reached the customer service and they confirmed that a transaction is cancelled. The way the transaction was displayed on their web site was a bit confusing.
