No. Expired TRV= No TRV. What gets them back into Canada is their previous unexpired status. Again here is the IRPA regulation 190(3)f: (3) A foreign national is exempt from the requirement to obtain a temporary resident visa if they are seeking to enter and remain in Canada solely (f) to...

That's wrong. If their visa expired and they still have valid status, and they only visited the USA, they are visa exempt when they come back. For instance if someone had a TRV valid for 1 year and was issued a 4 year study permit, they can still go to the USA and back after their visa expires...

My bad you did not admit, but you made no argument against it other than pointing out you didn't think a flagpole was a visit. I took that as if you didn't disagree with the other stuff. Here is my question: A foreign national came to Canada 1 day before their TRV expired and was authorized...

I'm not wrong. Even by your own admission, I'm right that you're visa exempt if you have status in Canada and visit the US and still have status when you come back. This will exempt you from having a work visa to apply at a land POE for a work permit. Our only point of contention is if a...

If they meet the elements of regulation 190(3)f, meaning that they already have valid status in Canada, that their status hasn't expired, and they are coming from the United States, even as a flagpole, they can apply for a work permit without a work visa. Now, if they are directly coming from...

No it's the CBSA's interpretation. You still visited the USA even though you were refused entry. Any cracker jack lawyer will rip you to shreds if you try to argue that seeing a CBP officer at US POE on US soil, isn't a visit to the US. No where in 190(3)f does it say you needed to be...

Your study visa will get you back into Canada even though you're a worker now. Any valid visa (study, work) will allow entry into Canada as a visitor, as long as you're not inadmissible. Since you also have a valid work permit, you can continue to work the moment you come back.

If they got refused at a land border after a flag pole, it wasn't because they didn't have the work visa. More than likely some of their documents weren't in order, or they didn't qualify in some other way for the work permit they were seeking.

If you speak USCBP officer and received their administrative refusal letter then you visited the US and are seeking entry. That's exactly how the CBSA interprets visit.

That's not entirely correct. IRPA regulation 190(3)f states this: (3) A foreign national is exempt from the requirement to obtain a temporary resident visa if they are seeking to enter and remain in Canada solely (f) to re-enter Canada following a visit solely to the United States or St...

No. If you already applied and received refugee protection in the USA you will be found ineligible.

Depends. If you are applying for a job in the medical field or primary or secondary school field or working with the elderly then you will need a medical. You also need a medical if you lived on a country that needs a medical for 6 months or more in the past year and you are staying in Canada...

Because technically you need to already have valid status to be work visa exempt when crossing land border. You can try right away though, if the border guard makes you flagpole then flagpole. It's no big deal. Just don't do it in the niagara region. They have a pilot project going on where they...

You must have a visitor visa at least. If so then drive across the land border get the stamp in your passport then immediately flagpole.

Any land border can do it. The reason airports don't do them for citizens of countries that need a visa is that you would need a proper work visa in your passport to do it. Now if you get admitted as a visitor at the airport, and still have visitor status when you go to the USA and come back...

You just need valid status, whether student, worker or visitor to come without a trv from the USA

You don't need a valid visa to flagpole from the USA. You better make that PGWP application before July 11, the expiration of your study permit or you will be ineligible to receive a PGWP

You should have researched which schools are eligible before you paid them good money. There are many public schools that have similar programs that would have been eligible. That being said there is no harm in trying to apply. Sometimes you get an inexperienced officer who might approve it...
