Hi all, I just moved to Canada recently for graduate studies, where I do teaching and research for the school and get a salary. However, the border officer missed this somehow and didn’t add the work authorization clause on my study permit. So I can’t get a SIN and subsequently cannot work.
I looked this up and saw on the IRCC that I need to mail my permit back to them to have it amended. But this would take 2 months (possibly more) and I really need the job and the pay.
So I wonder what other options do I have? I’m considering flagpoling but I’m not sure about it since I haven’t heard about it until recently. I also don’t want to risk my chances of US’ immigration down the line. Thank you!
