hello! i am trying to get to an interpol cita in the province, and the article indicates that paying the fee for being Canadian can only be done by a BCP branch in Lima. Is this the only option, I would need to travel to Lima? Is it not possible to be done remotely?

All nationals have to pay the fee for the Interpol clearance on pagalo.pe or at any Banco de la Nacion branch/ATM.
Canadians additionally have to pay a check which is done by the RCMP. For this an international money order is necessary which not all banks can do. The article doesn’t indicate that it can only be done by a BCP bank in Lima but clearly says that in Lima it can be done and works without a problem at the BCP bank on Av. Benavides with Av. Caminos del Inka.
I don’t know which bank in your vicinity might be able to do the Giro sobre el exterior, so you might have to ask the one or other bank where you are. Personally, I would first try a BCP bank or Scotiabank.

After a morning in the bank, it became apparent that even if they think they can, BCP in the province could not payment for less than $100. Banco de la Nación cannot send money to an institution, only a person.
With no luck, I came back to the article here, and created a carta de poder por mi suegro, who went on my behalf to the address you mentioned in Lima - Av. Benavides with Av. Caminos del Inka. Unfortunately, they could not create the Giro either. Perhaps due to new personel who don't know the right procedure, we only know that they could only send a value of $100, and issuing it in Canadian dollars was not an option either.
In the end, we were directed by the Benavides branch to go to the head office branch in San Isidro, where we were FINALLY able to make it happen. The process was yet another exercise in tedious Peruvian tramites, this one spanning multiple provinces! At least I hope that this info might save someone a headache. - This commment is unpublished.@jenny Hello Jenny,
wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience. What a nerve-racking odyssey.
For years the BCP branch, we recommend here and which is located near the Interpol office, was one of the few knowing how to do the giro and US Americans and Canadians never had a problem getting it done in no time. So, I'm sorry that things seem to have changed.
Thank you for letting us know that the branch in San Isidro is able to do it. I will update this article accordingly.
Hope, now everything works smoothly for you.
Thanks again
Greetings
Eva
