I meant I paid $155 on May 07 first, and then paid $100 for open work permit holder..
There were many people who made these payments separately.

Did anyone experience a similar problem like mine? your comments/sharing are greatly appreciated
I got CIC's request to submit additional document for my PGWP and uploaded as its instruction yesterday (13 Jan) at 11.30 AM. In MyCIC account screen, it says " Once you've uploaded the document(s) requested, you will receive a confirmation message in your MyCIC account."
However, I have not received the confirmation message as of today (10.00 AM on 14 Jan), which I assumed the system would have automatically generated once I successfully uploaded the document.
A friend of mine experienced the same, and her application was refused as there was not enough document for CIC officer to process.
I called CIC agent early this morning, he said in the system he saw my uploaded document.
Thank you for your sharing!
Just make sure when you click on submitted documents , it should show provided, for the one you just attached.

Hey guys mine is spousal open work permit. I applied on 6th September. Blank update on 5th November. No approval yet. Today I had a talk with CIC agent. He is saying that cic inspectors are reviewing your file and working on it. You will get your work permit very soon
Did any one has experienced this thing? If yes please let me know after how many days u got your permit?
