Hey guys,

I haven't seen posts about this issue in a while so I would like to know if it's still possible/lawful to "flagpole" at US Port of Entry.

I am currently an international student in Vancouver on a private institution (so it seems that no PGWP is guaranteed) and I would like to know if it's possible to get a WP at the border to stay in Canada until I have enough Canadian work experience to apply for a provincial/federal immigration program.

Has anyone here done it recently?

Should I take my diploma/certifications to the border and try the PGWP?

Is it mandatory to have a LMIA or a formal letter with a job offer?

Awaiting your kindly reply.

rgds,
Mauricio
