PGWP fee only asked for $150, what about the additional $100?

[shomed]

Hi,

I recently applied for PGWP but only being asked for $150. But as far as I know, I have to pay additional $100, so how can I pay that? Or is it not needed?

Thank you for your answer.

All Open Work Permit's (OWP's) are subject to an additional C$100 fee since Feb 21, 2015. It's easy to spot the fee when you're paying online, it's called 'Open Work Permit Holder fee'.

I applied on Feb 24th and paid only $150 too.
I am really confused now...

I have the same notification on in my Mycic account. Where do we pay the open work permit fees? Please let me know!

To pay it, go to the fees page:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/

You're paying a fee for a 'work permit (including extensions'. Go to pay the fees online. Immigration... Temporary Residence... then finally 'Open Work Permit Holder fee'.
