Hello everyone,

I am pretty new to this site and have to admit its a fantastic site....

Anyways, I have submitted my inland spousal application on February 27, 2015 along with the open work permit application. At the time of submitting my application, I was told that the fee for the OWP was $155. However, i was browsing the CIC website today and noticed that it says effective February 21, 2015, applicants that are applying for OWP are obliged to pay $100 privilege fee besides $155.

My question, does this($100) apply to the pilot program as well and if so will the CIC going to return my application package or will they ask me to submit the fee and keep the app package? if they return my OWP package, normally how long does that take as my status is expiring at the end of this month.

Thank You
