The pain and "stress" is because I am not a PR, I am a worker, (WP till 2014) all good. But it bugs me to know they take harder..

I did register for courier ... is too soon for me, my petition hasnt arrived at Montreal yet..

DHL and Courier are not the SAME? confused!!

DHL is the same as courier, it is the name of the courier company.

This was the issue that I had with trying to make the payment after confirmation of receipt of packet 3 was confirmed:

1) I have tried making the payment over the telephone. I have attempted about 5 times now, using 2 different credit cards, and I am continued to be told my cards are invalid. I have contacted my credit card company, and they said the cards are fine, and no transactions were even attempted.

I emailed CSC for assistance, and they basically told me to try again, and to try making the payment online or through Scotiabank.

I attemped to make the payment over the phone again....same issue, I'm told my credit card is not valid. (I emailed CSC again to see what the problem is)

2) I tried to make the payment online through the website instead. Except, I can't seem to find the option to make the MRV fee payment. I have followed all instructions as outlined.

-Trip purpose selected (K1 Fiance) Permanently immigrate to the US

- Selected Montreal as my choice consulate

- Was sent to Visa information page - clicked on continue

- Taken to my applicant summary page, advises me that "no appointments are available at this time" ---- and no continue button to press to make an MRV payment, no option

MOemac59,

Thanks for clarifying...

Well, why dont to go to Scotiabank.. or why dont to pay the day of your interview when you get one?!

I have read that people have paid there. NO stress!! I would go to the bank in person.

Good luck!

Just a tip if you pay on the day of the interview: they want 350 USD cash only- no canadian cash!

Also I recommend waiting until DOS says packet 3 has been logged before sending it because there is a chance for an RFE before they send it out to you. Congrats on receiving your case number

And another tip... I think the reason we couldn't pay earlier was that there were no appointments available. As soon as appointments opened up, I was able to pay online with my credit card. So... if you want to pay cash or at the bank, great, but don't stress about not being able to pay online before there are interview spots open.
