Hi everyone,
I am writing this on behalf of my friend who initially got 1.5 years PGWP instead of 3 years due to passport expiry. She completed 4 years bachelors degree so is eligible for 3 years PGWP.
Now she applied for PGWP extension on 15 May and got a letter to paid Open WP fee of $100 within 7 days on 10 Sep. She did pay the fee very same day and emailed cost recovery people about it.
What she didn't do, as per instructions, was upload the receipt on her online application. Earlier this morning she got the rejection letter as they did not receive the payment receipt within 7 days. Now she is out of status in Canada and can only stay as visitor as she holds passport from HK.
Now, how can she proceed with with? Should she apply for restoration? Should she request re-opening of PGWP extension application? Whom can she contact to re-open the application cause she did pay the fee in time just did not upload the receipt at the right place.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
