Has anyone used there visa debit card on there pal or RPAL applications? Seems some say it isn’t accepted. Curious if anyone knows. I keep on trying to get ahold of Alberta CFO which is hard. They end work at 3pm which is stupid.

That’s probably why then. Wish they’d say that because I didn’t have a CC. Thanks. Will have to figure out it now.

I emailed my local MP and have been trying to get ahold of Alberta CFO for a week. Really hard when you work as they close at 3pm. Gonna get a money order but not sure where I send it now and what information I put down. Kinda frustrates me I didn’t get money order but never seen Visa Debit not accepted nor mentioned. My Visa Debit has Visa sign on it and accepted everywhere online and over phone so could be more specific. But it sucks cause that ‘initial review’ and no mention of an issue keeps you unaware. I’m glad though you guys brought light to it finally.

RCMP doesn't accept debit cards, re-read the application.

Ya I know that. Still a visa #, exp date and cvv2. Totally different than my debit card from bank. But I’m looking into where to send MO. Either original address or somewhere else now that it’s been in circulation.

Send payment to CFP, I would phone first to ensure it eventually gets paired up with your application.

Thank you for this info. I will try to find someone that answers their phone to get info on what to do.
