Hello, everyone.

The expiry date of my study permit is May 31st. And I finished my courses on May 24th. Although I had urged the school many times, I got my final transcript and the completion letter on June 3rd, which is out of the expiration of my study permit. I submitted the application of the PGWP on the same date(Monday) followed my agent instruction, he thinks it may be fine because it is just 3 days later. Besides, he thinks the status should be student, the date is June 4th(I have no date to choose). In order to avoid the misrepresentation, I also submitted a Statement of the Situation Letter.

I am still very worried about it, so yesterday I called the service center, the lady said I don't have to withdraw my application, but I have to pay the extra $200 restoration fee immediately. Then, attached the proof of the payment in the Web form, which they will add it in my application later. So I just pay the $200 fee "restore as a visitor". And did what she suggested.

So, I am very upset now, I am not sure if I am doing the right thing or not. And about the restoration, can I just pay the fee like what I did or I have to submit the extra documents? Will they just refuse me directly?

Your agent is an idiot. You had no status and did not qualify for a PGWP. It didn't matter that it was only a few days late.

There is no guarantee that the $200 fee fee will be attached to your other app, so it may very well be refused.

Hi, thank you for replying.
So, what can I do now?
The link that the customer service sent to me and asked me to pay the restoration is http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp. And she said after I saw my application updated, call them again, and they can put a note on it.
Besides, why you said there is no guarantee that the fee will be attached to my application? On the Web form, I wrote my application number.
Thanks.

You could withdraw the PGWP app and resubmit requesting Restoration.

You wouldn't need to be refunded. You would just use the same receipts.

It can take a few weeks.

I don't understand what you are asking.
