I flagpoled in the month of May 2024 to get pgwp and spouse open permit and visitor record for my son.
This was the process :
Drove towards Douglas border through Surrey in my car
Crossed the border and we were directed towards USA border services and when we were at the border gate we were given a yellow paper document which said flagpoling then they checked our car as well as we were told to leave the keys in the car and windows open
Went inside the USA border office and waited for roughly about an hour before we were processed and given a white document which said crossed border for flagpoling.
We were then directed towards Canadian border and on entering we parked our car and waited for at least 2 hours (as we didn’t have an appointment) presented our papers to a cbsa personnel
After 2 hours we weren’t asked any questions but were told to make the payment for the permits. So we got the pgwp permit for 3 years, my open permit for 3 years and a visitor record for my son for 3 years. Total cost at the border was around 200-300 CAD not able to recall correctly
Now our profile : my wife had competed her MBA and was working part time with TD bank as senior funder for about an year, I was working with bell in TEER 2 category job and competed about 18months
Documents we produced :
Current permits (study permit of my wife and my son, my work permit)
6 months pay stubs and job offer letter
Roles and job duty document ( if your company doesn’t give one then you can make on your own and self declare and sign the doc)
Employment letter from your company stating your job duties and your compensation (this doc is not mandatory, take it with you if you get it)
Passports for all who are applying
Carry some food in your car the wait time is killing
what if i do not have a visa on passport? (TRV). I cannot enter Canada?my TRV expired.
I applied for study permit extension and sowp currently on maintained status till now no updates can we do flagpoling
Flagpoling has stopped for pgwp but it is still open for people who want to get their lmia or work permits extensions or new applications
hi, I have applied my study permit extension on 3rd March 2024 , it’s been 7 months already . I haven’t get my extended study permit. ( I applied for exit on because of my passport expiry I got only one year valid visa) . So can we vist to border and get my new study permit ?
You need to apply for Replacement document online
I am in Canada as a visitor and applied for a student visa, it’s now approved and stamped on my passport. For getting my student permit, with the LOI I received, can I go to Niagara for Flagpoling?
You will get the study permit in your mailbox, the same address which was filled in the application
I'm in the same situation , my study permit is approved received my stamped passport but waiting for study permit.
Can I go to the border to get my approved study permit as my university is not allowing me to register for classes without study permit
if visitor record is expired how many days can i still apply to restore my status or extend?
90 days
I have a question, I’m currently in Canada as a student and I’m trying to change my status. My boss has applied for LMIA for me and it has been approved, is it okay if I go get the work permit by the border ?
For sure if you are prepared for the interview
Pro tip, if in case you get a rejection or negative result at one border you can still try at the other border too. There is no rule that you can’t do that. Secondly, be honest and upfront with the officer that helps.
Can i apply for a study permit for my son age 16 at the border?
It depends on your status
Can one flagpole as a visitor on extension with approved lmia also is it possible for their spouse to do open work permit d same situation once the primary applicant gets approved
Yes in both the cases
I applied for my spousal open work permit extension last month and got a job offer which require the approved work permit. Can I flag pole?
Yes you can
Does job offer fall under teer 0-3 or 4-5
do you need a job offer or contract to apply for this? if yes how can a visitor get it?
Ofcorce one needs an lmia
@@spikeimmi how can a person with a visitor's visa even find an employer who would give them a jlb offer?
I have US visa, would I still need to get entry refusal from us border? I have already applied for closed wp online but i need it urgently because i need to go to india
You have both the options either flagpole or come via USA and ask for work permit on the entry
Will it affect application for U.S Visa in future
Not at all
Can I get my study permit from border after getting approval inside canada
Unfortunately no
Do we need an appointment for flagpoling
No
Can I flagpole on maintained status? My LMIA got approved now but 2 weeks ago my pgwp extension got rejected but I applied for visitor record same day to maintain my status. Do you recommend flagpole in this situation to get my closed work permit?
As you would be on restoration period so its not recommended to face the officer in this situation
@@spikeimmi yes right I haven’t applied for restoration yet as I applied for visitor record same date when my PGWP extension rejection came. So I didn’t go out of status right?
Technically u needed to apply with Restoration if your pgwp is refused. Does not matter if u applied the same day of refusal or next day
