I applied my PGWP on June and have got my refusal letter on Dec. (already more than 90 days), due to the $100 open work permit holder fee.
The thing is I didn't get any payment request letter from CIC and my application have been refused directly, although they said I am allowed to apply for restoration within 90 days after I've got the refusal letter., but this is really unfair, so I were not only apply for restoration, but also went Federal Court to apply for the Judicial Review.
Now, my second application haven't been processed, but already have got settlement letter from CIC's lawyer. So I can cancel my second application and get my money back now.
if you think CIC refused your applications with no reasonable reason or you think that was an unfair treatment , try Judicial review!
i presented myself (no lawyer), only costs me $50 and you won't have visa refuse record in this case.
