I stumbled on to an interesting article which could effect those applying for waivers. There is a proposal by the USCIS to increase the fees for processing.
For example, the I-192 application for advance permission to enter as a nonimmigrant is currently $265 US. The proposal would increase it to $545 US (a, $280 or 105.7% increase).

About
This is a personal account of a Canadian's pursuit to acquire, successfully receive and utilize a US Waiver (I-194) after learning that he was inadmissible due to a criminal record from more than 20 years ago. This blog should serve as a resource for others who are trying to navigate the waiver process.
My status: Successfully applied for and received my I-194 waiver in November 2006 after a 9 month wait. This 5 year waiver expires in November 2011 and allows me to travel to the US for business and pleasure. I routinely travel to the US on business (1-2 times per month) through many ports of entry. This blog contains my experiences (pre and post application for waiver) and includes resources and links which will hopefully assist you in your pursuit.
In Canada, to Apply for an I-194 waiver you will need to complete the I-192 application (Application for Advance Permission to Enter as a Non-Immigrant). Current filing fee is $545 US. The most recent form can be found here: I-192

How did you go about getting a check "drawn on a U.S. financial institution."
You go into a US financial institution, give them US cash or Certified US funds & they will give you a 'Cashiers Cheque' in US funds drawn on their institution!
Pretty simple!
Toronto Pearson is accepting credit cards. They were not accepting money orders. Heard the CBP saying that someone managed to pay with a personal check but they seemed surprised so I wouldn't try it.
The fee is now $585 USD
