Can a Live in caregiver apply for work permit at the border

[lorna07]

Hello to all! ;D

I am a newbie here and found this forum through a friend.

I am a currently here in Toronto, Canada as a tourist. I found an employer and she filed for my LMO just lask week.

Can I apply for a work permit at the border? How about medical? How can I get medical? I think I need to bring my medical result at the border? Do I get medical in Canada or U.S? I only have a single entry visa in the US :'(. If I go to the U.S. to apply, I don't know anybody there and they will take my passport and I cannot go back to Canada until my work permit is approved.

I don't want to go home and file my application in the Philippines because it will take me forever

Thank you all!

No, LCP must apply at an overseas office. If you apply to one on the US offices, you probably will require an interview, so unless you have a US visa, it probably won't work.
