you have to pay the deductible unless the case is completely settled. Like - if you report to ICBC that you were rear-ended, they won't waive the deductible until the other person has come forward and admitted to being at fault. You can wait till that happens before you repair the car, or if you want the car repaired quicker, you can pay the deductible, get it repaired, then get the deductible back when the case is settled.
for simple cases, they get settled quickly, but for more complicated cases, especially involving witnesses, etc, it could take a while before you get your deductible back.
