FLAGPOLE for new work permit without TRV

[astasi]

Hi Ossie,

CIC did not send any email notification although I was expecting it as I had send an online WP application. The new WP arrived by regular mail.

hello 'astasi'. Please let me know if you did a Flagpole with the Expired TRV. I too am in the same situation (Expired TRV and valid WP) and want to Flagpole to get my Work Permit. Please let me know if you were able to get your WP at POE?

Hi
Were you able to flag pole to Coutts and get your WP issued at the border?

@mrp1986 : No problem I will let you know, I haven't heard anything yet from them I guess because of the holiday. Have you heard anything about yours?

Klemzo,

No man. did u check with phone call with cic.

Hi Astasi and the rest of you guys.
I have some few questions here:
1) when you submitted your application for new WP online, have you resigned from your current work? Or you have to resign once you have a new WP already?
2) or the other scenario, is there a long transition period from the old WP to new WP? I mean while waiting for the new WP, do you stay unemployed? As TFW, we are concerned with our cash flow.
3) once you had the new work permit, are you obliged to change your SIN?
4) how about if to flagpole, what will happen to the old WP.

Thank you so much for your help.

@ mrp1986,

yeah I called them on phone and they said still working on application received on October 4th. I hope it is processed before end of January, am so tired of waiting.

@ maplelove

Depend on your situation, you can still be working if your old WP didn't expire before you applied for a new one, it is called implied status.

@mushroomroom: I submitted my application online on the 23rd oct before on the 26th. How come his have been processed already before mine? Or is pgwp processing time different from the closed working permit with same employer?
