PGWP issue

[Jaiveer Singh]

Hi Forum,

I got one message from CIC that i need to pay 100$ in addition to 155$ by due date. Where i can pay 100$ as they need payment receipt.

Has anyone faced the same issue?

Since 21 February 2015, the CIC have implemented an additional C$100 fee on all Open Work Permit applications.

To pay it, go to the fees page:

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'.

I received the same letter. Whats your timeline? My letter told me to pay via bank draft so that's what I did. I'm sure the information as to how to make payment is in your request letter as well. I couriered my draft and created a document with courier receipt and a copy of the draft and uploaded in the spot in my MyCic account.

You can pay online, keep that reciept with you and upload it in submitted application section.

I followed the procedure from above given link

Hi,
I applied my PGWP online through an agent on Feb 24th and was only asked for a fee of $150. Is that normal?
should I be expecting a notification of fee payment of $100 ? or shall i just go ahead and pay the additional $100?
Thanks a lot.

Yes you need to pay an additional, different C$100 fee. C$155 is the work permit, the extra C$100 is something else the CIC have added. As per my post above:

If you are in haste and want your work permit as soon as possible, pay for it. Otherwise, let them notify you

I paid that additional 100$ after submitting my pgwp online application. but I don't know where to upload it. there is no link on my online application for uploading any additional documents.
should I wait for them to contact me?

Hi t84345234, did you get a notification from CIC before you paid? Thank you.

Hi t84345234, did you get a notification from CIC before you paid? Thank you.

Hi, no, there were no notifications. I paid the fee regardless.
It's been 64 days since you applied. have you received any updates?

 

[Daisyli122]

No, not yet...How about you? any updates?
I applied through an agent and i have been calling them everyday.
I guess I'll have my agent to process that payment for me as well. I should have applied myself, things might be easier that way
also, the newly updated processing time is day 68 days, as of Feb 24th, they were still processing the application submitted on the 14th...
