Open work permit with PR application fees

[kuriositty]

I am applying for an inland PR and also an open work permit at the same time. What are the appropiate fees for the open work permit as it does not say on the CIC website. Calling CIC is a waste of time for me as it always seems when I am able to call they are too busy.

Is the fee just the $155 for the work permit or is it the $100 for the open work permit holder? Or is it both? I'm not finding much info. My husband called CIC awhile back and they just said that it would be $100 for the open work permit holder. But I want to make sure that I am paying for the right thing and the right amount.

Also what if I over pay, will they refund whatever is extra?

Thanks in advance to those that reply.

Look under 'section 2. Work Permit - Fees' on the following link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp
You need to pay 'Work permit' ($155) and 'Open work permit holder' ($100).

The work permit is $155, but since February you also have to pay an additional fee of $100; making $255 in total. If you over pay, they will refund the difference.

Here's the notice about the additional $100 fee:

Arrowberry is correct. I confirmed with the call centre that the new $100 fee is on top of the $155 so the total is now $255.
