yes, I saw the message yesterday that the system will undergo maintenance on the 16th, but not sure why today.

I am also waiting to submit my study permit application. Let’s hope that doesn’t take long.

Why did you wait at the last moment? I dont want to sound bad but you should have known that issues can happen.

not sure if you apply on paper and send it by canada post on same day might help

UPDATE: I could not log into my main account despite entering all information correctly. So i created a new profile/gckey and applied. In order for me to apply for a work permit extension, i had to enter my date of work permit expiry in the questionnaire. I entered it as March 15th 2021 (which is true) and it said i had to apply today- so i guess it deemed to eligible. I added an explanation letter as well.

I hope its ok. Thank you everyone for your help. I highly appreciate it. Hopefully the CIC officer understands. After all, if i was not eligible to apply as my work permit expired today, the system would not have allowed me to proceed once i answered it correctly.

It did allow me to proceed but there was a warning i had to do it today. I hope the officer doesn't mind.
