What happens after I fill in online restoration of status??

[lieutenentdan087]

Hi, I applied for restoration of status and extension of my work permit last week as I was out of status by one day. In the mean time I have got a positive lmo. What do I have to do to get my new work permit as I no longer need my extension, and do I have to pay more fees??

I filled out the applications online and paid the fee's using a credit card But I don't know if this is all i need to do. I printed out a reciept and the filled out applications... Do I need to send these to cic along with my marraige cert, passport ect. or is the online application sufficient??? It said on my application the my passport etc was required by July 31st. I just don't understand.

I called CIC and the guy was no help and I can't find the right information online.
I would really appreciate any help!!

How much did you pay- $350? You need to send all the necessary documents - proof of your status in Canada (copy of your expired WP, if you had one), bio page of your passport, marked pages of your passport (when you entered Canada). Why is your passport needed? Isn't this a renewal of the work permit?

Thanks for the reply jobseeker!
I paid $700 that was for my wife and I. I filled out the application online and scanned in my marraige cert.,passport and job offer letter as I did not have my lmo at the time. I also gave my client id number as I already had a work permit that had just expired. I printed out everything that I filled in online, I just want to know If I need to send this in by mail as well as filling out the form on cic website?? I also paid online by credit card and I printed out reciept, Do I need to send this in too? Now that I have got my positive lmo today can I just extend it with the same fees I paid for extesion or do I have to pay more. Also how do I let cic know I have recieved my lmo? Or do service Canada notify them, Is it all conected to my client ID?? Sorry for so many questions just the guy on the cic helpline was no help, he just told me to look online.

Sorry have no experience submitting application online, but since you now have your LMO, you can probably send a copy of your LMO together with copies of the "online application/fees" and a cover letter explaining that you have submitted it online at such a date and sending in the LMO for the WP processing. Also send in copies of the supporting documents (expired WP, passport, etc)
