This is what is called a "stop payment" and is a standard bank service, but different banks implement it slightly differently. Some banks, for example RBC, may allow the payment to go through but reverse it the following day, whereas other banks will prevent the payment from posting to begin with. Banks will generally require that you specify the details such as payment amount, check number, date written, etc. Some banks may charge a fee, but that may be waived if suspected fraud is a factor.

To put a stop payment order in you should start by calling your bank, making sure you have all the payment details ready.
