PLEASE I NEED A HELP IN THIS TOPIC

1. I have a approved valid LMIA and job offer letter from the canadian employer.

2. I Went to the "VFS Canada" bangalore office to apply work permit visa in 27th march 2015. I submit all the paper documents to the VFS office.

3. He requesting me to pay the amount of 13478rs for open work permit visa fees and SMS charges + service charge. I said to the VFS office staff I have seen in the cic web site, for work permit visa fees it's 155 CAD (8000 rs change some thing) then why u asking me to pay 13478rs, And also I said this is WORK PERMIT VISA APPLICATION not a OPEN WORK PERMIT VISA.

4. His reply: it's considered as a open work permit visa, even if ur holding a approved valid LMIA or job offer letter from the Canadian employer this considered just as a open work permit visa application only.

MY QUESTION:

1.WHY THE VFS VISA FEES VARY FROM THE CIC VISA FEES SITE ?

2.WHY IT'S CONSIDERED AS A OPEN WORK PERMIT WHILE WHEN I AM HOLDING A "JOB OFFER LETTER AND THE APPROVED VALID LMIA?

It doesn't. I remember it is some where around 150$. Do you have a family?

2.WHY IT'S CONSIDERED AS A OPEN WORK PERMIT WHILE WHEN I AM HOLDING A "JOB OFFER LETTER AND THE APPROVED VALID LMIA?
This can be very dangerous. Check with them once again. As far as I know, it has to be closed work permit.
