As I said, you need all the papers that the online cheklist requires, if you are a pgwp applicant, you don't need a job offer and they will not ask for it. Them and CIC are two different agencies, but they both have authorities to issue a individual immigration documents. And they didn't ask me whether or not I have applied online, but one of my friend has been asked, but the officer didnt care, and I didnt have to show how urgent I was to get this permit, because that's their job, if a officer is in bad mood, he probably won't accpet you application, but I didn't experienced that. As I said above, it all depends on how urgent you want , the officers don't care. And I just wanted to share my experience, not want to debate this is the best way, of course not. If you want your permit faster, go and have a try, if you think it is risky, seat back and relax, have some coffee and wait at home. It is that simple.
Do you know if you can renew your TRV at the border too along with PGWP?

Hi everyone,

I have applied on March 25th. Like most of you I did not pay the extra $100 fee. Below is my information:

Applied: March 25th
1st blank update: June 1st
Paid the extra $100 on June 3rd and submitted a case specific enquiry and attached the receipt
2nd blank update: July 2nd ( 30 minutes ago)
As of July 2nd: No request for $100 fee

If I do not hear back from CIC by Monday I will try to apply at the Canadian border on Tuesday.
Hi Parisa, just noticed you applied in March, wow that's a long time ago, a friendly reminder, you will have to apply the permit within 90 days of your program ends, it is the same rule at the border.

No, they can only issue you the work permit, you will have to apply the visa via CIC online or by mail.

Thanks Youssef for sharing. Let us know once you've paid and keep checking your CIC account to see when you've been approved and let us know.

Your timeline is important because there are some members here that applied before you but haven't received the $$ request or the approval. Keep us informed.

Cheers!

Unfortunately Canadavisa forum does not allow me to post links here. So just google " cic case specific enquiry" and you will be able to find it.

Just to mention,if CIC requested you to pay the fee you should be able to attach the receipt on your mycic account. If not then use the case specific enquiry and explain your case. Fill out the form completely and attach your receipt.

Good luck
