PGWP rejected. Have to leave Canada!! Help

[get by]

My PGWP got rejected on the grounds on incomplete fees. I was given 1 year and still had 2 years remaining to get. Since the processing time was over 90 days from when I applied and got the response, I am told to leave Canada immediately. I am unable to get an LMIA from my employer and my only option seems to apply for a PR card from outside Canada.

Should I reopen/ plea for my work permit to be reconsidered and ask CIC if I can pay the remaining fee? Will that work? Lawyers have said no.

I will be apply for Express entry under CEC ASAP aswell.

If I leave now, how long will it take for me to come back. I am forced to leave my job, home, everything that I have build here because of this error.

Please help! What are my options?

That is so odd that you can't just send it back and pay the proper fees. How did you pay the wrong fee? Did they not give you 90 days to restore your status?

The website said 100$ for open work permit. I paid that. But apparently i was also to select another option that would make the fee come up to $255. So I was $155 short. By the time my case got processed which took over 100 days and I received the notice from CIC. My 90 days were up.

Did you get the notice from CIC to pay $155 or just got the notice that your application refused ?

I got a notice saying that I am $155 short and so the application has been rejected. I also cannot renew or reapply because I am over 90 days. This is so unfair! What can I do now?

I am not sure but try to do flag pole...and tell them why you were late and when you received the latter it might help you

Thanks. I am leaving canada in a few days. Will apply for PR and try to apply for PGWP again from outside Canada. I have to give up everything here that I have build all these years. Its emotionally shattering.

I can imagine. The 90 days I was walking about was 90 days starting from when they rejected your application. They will normally tell you your implied status ends as of the day they reject your application, then tell you , you have 90 days to reapply for a different visa.

Was this not mentioned in the letter they sent you?

No that was not mentioned. They just outright rejected it on the basis of fee without giving any other option.

I just read on the forum someone had the same issue but they were just told to pay the right amount and re send the application.

I guess it also depends on the processing officer but sorry to hear that. I understand how hard that must be.
