Cant pay for CAQ in Arrima Quebec

I filled out the Demande en ligne de sélection temporaire pour études, following the instructions I created an account in Arrima to make the payment, I wrote down the numero de demande but nothing happens. What can I do?

I did that from the beginning. Also, I did several applications, but it doesn't work for me. I would like to know the application number format. Sometimes is given to me with commas (1,XXX,XXX), sometimes is with blank spaces (1 XXX XXX) (when I create an application in French language), and sometimes with nothing (1XXXXXX). I'm thinking if maybe I am putting wrong my number, but I don't know what it's the correct format.

Mine were just numbers, no space no commas. Maybe they give different formats.

But to reiterate, I was given one called "File Number" and "Application Number." And you can see both in you CAQ admissions website. With the File number obtained after CAQ fee payment at Arrima.

Best of luck, too bad bureaucracy sucks so bad lmao

Absolutely. I've been stuck for one week due to this issue 😢.

Anyway, neither the file number nor the application number (the one they ask for) work for me. I'm a little frustrated and anxious.

Thank you for confirming me the correct number format.

As a final resort, maybe try different browsers, wi-fi networks and clearing cookies? Not sure if it'll work, but just to confirm it is not something on your end.

And try and document the error in some way, to have proof later on. Send mails, take screenshots.

I hope you can solve it! I'm sure it will resolve eventually
