BOWP-EXTENSION- QUESTION ABOUT FEES

[immigrantbee]

Hi All,

I have a couple of questions regarding my application for a second BOWP- I need an extension.

So, CIC are phasing out payments at the bank. Does the deadline of March 31 apply to when application is received or when it's processed?
And, I remembered I paid 155 dollars for my BOWP last year but I read online something about the Open Work Permit Holder fee (100 bucks). Do I have to pay 100 un top of the 155 fee? I am confused and don't want CIC saying I did not pay enough fees.

Thanks!!

yes you have to pay 100 on top of 155
So the total for BOWP is 255 for each applicant

Thanks. I paid 155 last year and my BOWP permit was issued. Is this 100 bucks fee new?

WOW! Can you still pay at the bank with original receipt? I know they are phasing out that method of payment, but i am not sure if the march 31 deadline applies to when application is sent or to when it's received.
