But when my employer hired me, I was on an open work permit and no need to pay the compliance fee as mentioned here What is the employer compliance fee? How do I pay it? (canada.ca) is that make any difference?You have to apply for closed work permit. Your employer have to submit job offer in employer portal and pay $230 compliance fees . That job offer starts with A123457789. That number you have to put in work permit application form under job details section. If you apply closed work permit with this, your work permit will be refused. For now if you already submitted, your employer can submit job offer and pay fees. You can fill form again and put that job offer in new form and send it through webform asap along with $230 fees receipt copy.
