Does anybody know if people can still flagpole for PGWP? If its suspended, any likelihood of reopening? Or are there certain borders that still allow some skeletal flagpoling at this time? It takes too lo g online.

The short answer is no, not at this time. Work permits still aren't being processed at the border since the border is closed to all but essential travel. The border closure is being extended to late July. So best case scenario, it may be possible to flagpole the last week of July (assuming no further extensions of the closure). I would personally apply online asap since it's unknown when flagpoling will be possible again.

I agree. Also our international student advisor mentioned that students are not encouraged to flagpole for PGWP any more (I remember he mentioned that is late 2019).
