Visitor Record/TRV and Work permit application-Need advise

[canuck_in_uk]

Flagpole Update:

We went to the Rainbow Bridge border on Thursday but could not flagpole as the process was closed currently and were advised to return at 8pm. We waited and tried again at 8pm but by then the process was closed for the day.

I guess 8am early morning is the best option. Is it required for my spouse to be present with me? She will not be able to book another day off next week. Can I flagpole alone with all the required documents? Please advise, thanks.

She doesn't need to be there.

She doesn't need to be there.

Thanks, should I take her original work permit and passport with me or will photocopies suffice?

I have read some conflicting things regarding taking a filled application form. Should I take the form or there is no need for it in flagpoling?
Thanks

Hi Guys,


I'm in the same situation. My TRV has expired since Feb 26, just got my status restored as Visitor today. They have issued a visitor record valid for 6 months. My employer has got positive LMIA but after 90 days deadline of TRV expiration.(Thats why I had to restore my status as a visitor)


So now question is
Can I got to border and apply for the LMIA based Work Permit?
As I'm from Visitor visa required country, will I be able to re-enter to canada after flogpole at the border?

Please guys, I need your advice on this, have been so stressed out since last few months.

Thanks a lot in advance, looking forward for your replies!!!!!!

You can renter canada if you plan to flagpole. I did it with a visitor record for my SOWP.

Thanks for replying. I am not from a Visa exempt country. I do need a TRV.
I agree that on a visitor permit I should be able to re enter Canada.
Also, inspite of not being from a visa exempt country I could get my work permit last time. Hopefully I do not face issues this time.
My employer is concerned that they may not allow me to re enter canada as my TRV has expired.

Hello meg, did you able to get your work permit at the border only with your VISITOR PERMIT/Record but not with TRV?

Yes, absolutely. You do not need a TRV.
