As of December 23 at 11:59 pm ET, work & study permits will not be provided to flagpolers at ports of entry, freeing up resources for CAN & US officers to focus on securing our shared border.
Flagpoling is when foreign nationals who hold temporary resident status in Canada, leave Canada and, after a visit to the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon, re-enter to access immigration services at the border.
