When the fee change happened, the MyCIC account mentioned that you have to pay the fee difference. However, after it was fixed, the MyCIC account reflects the new fee anyway.First of all this is not to argue or otherwise. I am just sharing my experience.
I may be falling short to understand this entire process. The instructions are stated in the help centre Question and answer. But there was no such notification when we make payment following documents submission. The real expectation of IRCC is to pay the deference amount first and then the receipt of it along with other document while submitting express entry profile. Till this time I have not come a cross this precisely while surfing on IRCC website for pay your fees. In one of the discussion groups someone has placed the content of AOR with this regard which clearly indicates it. It also mentions that "If you submit your eAPR without the additional fees, a fee payment request will be sent to you through your MyAccount."
I submitted my application on 01 Jun but did not receive any ADR till this date. As we are proactively able to pay it, I have done it. Thanks for the guidance provided in this group discussion.
If you submitted the application before the fee change was reflected, then you answer to your questions is available here:

At the end waiting for IRCC to send you a letter merely delays the processing of your application. If you can do it proactively, there better it is.
