What fee am I paying to restore to a visitor visa?

[pip_kerr]

Hello, I have a quick question about about which tab to pick when paying my fee's to restore my status to a visitor visa. Right now I am out of status due to me filling in the wrong form when applying for my second year work permit. I was sent a refusal letter about 60 days ago now and have not been working ever since. My fiancee is Candian so we have decided that we will apply for an offshore PR sponsorship so for now to keep me legal I am filling in 'Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada as a Visitor', my partner will support me until I return to Australia and wait for my PR to go through.
I have filled out all the forms and have everything ready to go but just a little confused about which tab to pick on the payment page where it says 'What are you paying a fee for? (required)'?

Am I paying for a 'Visitor visa extension' or 'Restoration of temporary resident status'?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, cannot afford to send or pay for the wrong form again.

Thank in advance

There is no such thing like "visitor visa extensions" (visas cannot be extended).

You want to apply for a "restoration of temporary resident status".

Thanks Jalax23, so restore to temporary resident, good to know. And yeah there is a 'Visitor visa extension' thats why it through me off. Here check the link, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp you should be able to see it.

Appreciate the help, thanks again.

That is wrong. If you select that and click "Get payment instructions" you will get to:

Extension of Authorization to stay in Canada as a visitor (temporary resident)

Ok I realised I was following the wrong link to the payment screen, I went back through the guide properly and paid online. The guide took me to a screen with lots more payment options and the one I selected as per what the guide stated was 'Restoration of Temporary Resident Status' for $200, its only the one payment I need to pay right? I don't have to select any other payment options here do I for a standard restoration to a visitor.

Thanks again

Follow the instructions in your checklist. Sometimes there are other fees associated depending on the individual's specifics. If the checklist only has one fee then you should trust that.
