No, you don't need to apply to extend your visitor status. You will have Implied Status after Oct 17th until your OWP arrives.

Note that some people apply for the visitor extension anyways just in case the PR/OWP app is returned for any reason.

Or $155+$100. or just the Open work permit holder fee of $100.

I would personally extend your visitor status in case your application is returned for any reason. You don't want to end up out of status due to a returned application.

You were supposed to pay both the $100 and the $155 fees.

Inland AOR is taking at least two months at the moment, so there is no need to be worried yet.
