i made a paper based application for extension of my pgwp on 14 April. Initially,it was issued to my passport expiry (18 months instead of 3 years)and had a note which said passport must be renewed for extension.

However I only paid $155 online instead of $255 and included it in my paper based application.

I called the CIC they told me that the officer will just return your application after 3 months of processing just on the basis that it didn't have $255 payment.
However online applications are getting $100 request in their CIC accounts .Why cant people with paper based applications get a extra $100 request instead of just returning the application after 3 months.
AND If they had to sent the application back why didn't they send it when they checked the paper based application for completeness in April.

I even tried going to the border and extending it

NOTE:if you have a pgwp issued to your passport expiry and still have time on it for renewal .You CANT go the the border to renew it .I learned it the hard way. :(

I was given 9 months PGWP instead of 1 year due to my passport expiry out of which I have used up 4 months. I have renewed my passport and trying to apply for my remaining PGWP months online but having issues uploading my IMM5710. I keep getting error message even after several updating, cancelling and tweaking all possible options for week now but every information i gave seems to look correct. Paper application is also not an option as time is not on my side and I have to apply for PnP asap.

Error message:
The form you have uploaded was not accepted.

Error Description:

Your status expiry date in the answer you provided previously does not correspond to the Restoration in your form. Modify your answers or the value in your form.

I am getting frustrated and will appreciate your help ASAP.
