Hi,

Does anyone know what if I have already applied for Restoration of Visitor Record on January 11 and it takes 202 days to process, how should I answer this question?


When does your status in Canada expire?
December 27, 2020

Your status has expired within the last 90 days. To restore your status, you must pay $200.
If you do not restore your status, you will no longer be legally allowed to stay in Canada.
Do you want to apply to restore your status?
Yes



When I fill in the expiry date from my previous expired Visitor Visa, which is Dec 27, 2020, then the Visitor Record's restoration is automatically added into the PGWP Extension application.

As a result, there will be an extra Restoration Fee of $200 at the checkout.


Should I pay the $200 Restoration Fee first and then ask CIC to return it to me?

Or I only pay { Work Permit $155 + Open Work Permit Holder Fee $100}, and write a letter with the receipt from January 11's submission of Visitor Record Restoration, and ask them to manually remove my Restoration of status Fee $200 from the checkout list?

Thank you very much for the great help!
