How to make payment

01-26-2004, 08:01 PM

Hi,

I am now in US, and have a US bank account. I plan to send my
application to Canadian Office in Singapore because I may leave the US
sometime end of this year.

My I check with my US bank, and the bank
says that they can ONLY issue a certified check/money order in US
dollars (neither in Canadian nor Singapore dollars).

Here The
instructions say:

"Canadian dollar payments must be made in the form of
a BANK DRAFT, drawn on a bank in Canada and made payable to the RECEIVER
GENERAL FOR CANADA."

"Singapore dollar payments must be made in the
form of a CASHIER'S ORDER or BANK DRAFT, drawn on a bank in Singapore
and made payable to the CANADIAN HIGH COMMISSION."

May I seek advice
from anyone who had experience in how to arrange the payment to
Singapore office from a bank in the US?

Thanks in advance.

anton.

Don't ask for "certified check" - ask for draft in Canadian dollars. If
clerks in your bank don't know how to issue draft in Canadian dollars then
go to different bank.

Thanks Mr. Miller for your soon reply. In this case, it looks like
I need to open an account in another bank?

My bank is actually a
Credit Union, so it seems that Credit Union is not set up for
transactions in foreign currencies.

Any additional tips will be
much appreciated. Thanks.

Any of the major banks (Fleet, Citibank, Bank of America, etc) will
be happy to sell you a Canadian bank draft. You don't have to have an
account there. They will be happy to take your money, screw you
somewhat on the exchange rate, and then charge you an additional
$25USD for their service. Small banks and credit unions won't do it,
only the global financial institutions play the game.
