Let me briefly explain my situation. I have been working in Alberta since 2008 after I graduated in UofA. My PGWP will be expired at the end of Sep 2011 and I need to renew the WP (which will be a close WP) with positive LMO, which has been filed by my company at the beginning of July and I should get it in the middle of Aug, hopefully.
Right now the processing time for WP is 2 months. I was wondering if I can get my new WP at the border in Alberta without entering US. I am from HK so I don't need visa to enter Canada, but I do need a visa to enter US. I have been living here since 2002 and I did my medical exam at that time. So if I apply it at the border, do I need to re-do the medical exam? My occupation is pharmacist, which is considered as a health professional.
If I choose to apply online, should I choose apply WP (same employer), or WP(new employer). I did not change my employer since my graduation.
If the job you have is not health/food related then you don't need medicals. If the border is pretty close to you then it's worth a try. Bring the necessary requirements. And if you failed to get your new WP from the border then you still have time to send your WP application to Vegreville.
