Query - how and where to get Draft in US payable at New Delhi

[CanadaPR90]

Hi,

I am sending full docs to New Delhi

On this link http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/fees-frais.aspx?lang=eng, it states payable at New Delhi. When I called Bank of America in US, they said if they make in Canadian $ then it would be payable in Canada only and if in INR then payable in Mumbai only.

- Please let me know where to get the drafts made and what is the best option - INR or Canadian and thru which bank/agency ?

- Also clarify if there is any rule - if draft in INR then "Canadian High Commission" and if Canadian $ then "Receiver General for Canada"

Thanks,

You can get draft made in CAD in the name of Receiver General for Canada payable in New Delhi. I got it done from RBS Bank

May be you should request some one in India to get it done for you

Hi Ankit,

From India it won't be possible. If I get it done in Canadian Dollar then Bank Of America said it will be payable in Canada ONLY. Not sure if this would be an issue

Thanks,

CanadaPR, it may be slight problem as website clearly says it should be payable to ND.

Why do not you get a draft made in INR payable at ND.

Why are you complicating things for yourself.
Just pay the RPRF in Indian Rupees as stated on the website. I think it is 21440/person currently.
Get a draft or banker certified cheque from any bank in India. Payable in favour of Canadian High Commission.
