Pay without a Canadian bank account

Non-residents who do not have a Canadian bank account can make their payments to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by wire transfer.

Note: Payments for non-resident GST/HST security deposits cannot be made by wire transfer at this time.

What you need to know

All wire transfers must be in Canadian dollars.

Your financial institution may charge you a fee to make a wire transfer payment. Make sure that your financial institution does not deduct the wire transfer fee from the total payment amount due as this will result in an underpayment.

New:

Wire transfers are now processed in Canada by Fédération des Caisse Desjardins du Québec. They do not charge any fee for forwarding your wire transfer payment to the Canada Revenue Agency.

Non-residents who do not have a Canadian bank account can make their payments to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with an internationally issued credit card through a third-party service provider who charge a fee for their services.

Make sure you set up your payment well in advance of the due date, as payment delivery is not immediate and may vary with each third-party service provider.
