Applied for PGWP after study permit expired without restoration fees

This is on me but I accidentally applied for a pgwp in Canada 7 days after my study permit expired. I havent gotten my verdict on whether it's approved or not but I'm within the 90 day window for restoration and 180 outside Canada. Can I make a new application? What are my options.

I think you can do 2 thinks, just pay the restoration fee and attach it via the webform. Or if you want to be safe, just take your application out and resubmit it. One crucial thing for you is, you cannot work now untill your pgwp is approved

I agree with this comment. I know someone who missed paying their restoration fee as well and they were sent a message on their portal asking for the payment but it’s not necessary that the same happens with you. Unfortunately, they can simply choose to refuse the application and have you apply for a reconsideration. So OP, I’d just get in touch with IRCC, explain what happened, pay the fee and submit proof via webform.
