Applied study permit before expiration but was asked to pay additional 200

[xsparkagex]

My study permit was expiring on the 31st of july, and I managed to submit and pay my documents on the 31st. I do know that this is acceptable (not sure about it) as long as i dont apply after the 31st of july. However I just got a message from cic asking me to pay additional 200 to restore my status.

Can someone advice me on this matter?

you lost your status . you suppose to applied 30days before it expires

i called up the customer service department and they told me it was a glitch and i shouldnt have to pay anything. in other words i didnt lose my status. the requirement is that u apply at least 30 days before it expires but it also doesnt mean that u automatically lose your status if u dont apply 30 days ahead. u only lose your status after the expiry date. but thank you for your response.

There is no such rule. As long as your application reaches CIC before your visa expires, you are fine.
