Flagpoling for closed work permit

[bux14]

Hi I nearing the expiration of my 3 year open work permit I found an employer willing to help me with LMIA
> went through the hiring process and he has submitted application for LMIA
> I applied for visitor record before the expiration of my pgwp
>now I am on visitor record

My question is -
After I receive the approved LMIA from my employer will I be eligible to flagpole?
I have a previously approved study and workpermit and now visitors record I also have TRV multiple entry am I eligible for flagpole

You can try. First WP and LMIA not guaranteed. Also hearing that many borders are severely limiting any form of flagpoling.

You can try to flagpole if you live close to a border but make sure you look up flagpoling hours. Would arrive before hours even start for the best chances of getting a chance of getting seen that day.

Can I apply for interim work authorisation after I have received the Lmia?

No you need a WP.

Yes I have held a work permit within 12 months and also will be applying for workpermit when my Lmia is approved

This is from IRCC website

A temporary public policy has been issued to allow certain temporary residents to apply for a work permit from within Canada. While all temporary residents can apply for an employer-specific work permit under the public policy, only those who held a work permit in the last 12 months may request interim authorization to work.
