Elimination of the payment receipt form [IMM 5401]
Summary
As part of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) modernization of payment processing, the payment receipt form [IMM 5401] (previously called an HPM receipt) is being eliminated as an accepted fee payment option as of April 1, 2016.
As of January 29, 2016, clients and immigration representatives can no longer order new payment receipt forms [IMM 5401] via the Call Centre or online via the IRCC website.
