This is always a good point to make when finding an alternative method of payment. By the way to do a BACs transfer you just need the other parties sort code, account number and a reference number and usually costs around £30 another alternative is to phone them with your debit/credit card details.

In canada money orders are for upto $1000 CAD, anything over $1000 CAD is a bankers draft, both are accepted by the canadian immigration as guarateed funds, because when you get the order or draft the funds are taken from your account there and then, to pay for the draft. There is no cashing in time limit on a draft or money order, unlike cheques, which the candian immigration won't accept unless certified by the bank.
P.S Dafts and Money Order are cheaper
