Would you please tell us how and when you got an appointment for the flagpole? We have been calling non-stop this week and nobody ever answers the phone.
they booked me the appointment in for three weeks. You have to go to the border (check the hours the imigration services work in this specific poe) and ask them to book you in, and then they will tell u when is it
Did you try calling and it didn't work? Also did you have to flagpole to see an officer and to get an appointment?
Would you please also let me know whether you did the flagpole to see an officer to get the appointment? If not, how did you ask for appointment if officers are on the entry side of the border (and not the exit side).
I had a friend living me close to the border and I went walking and just got in the main entrance by foot, asked for a flagpole appointment and it was done. They asked for my permits and gave us the hour of our appointment
If you do not mind me asking, how did u manage to book an appointment over phone , i am calling for the last two weeks within time slot and getting pre-recorded message and then they hang up.
We tried a month ago and they didn't answer for a month. At last, we went to the border, telling them we couldn't get a chance talking to a representative over the phone and explaining our situation. Unfortunately, our service could only be done online (similar to PGWP) and lost the job offer, but I got the feeling that they would have given an appointment there if it could be done at the border.
Was this for a closed work permit with an approved LMIA? Important information to know since LMIAs cannot be applied within Canada and flagpoling is not really leaving Canada and applying outside.
No this was a type of open work permit. If you really want to see this can be done, you'd have to talk the officer to ask his/her colleagues inside to see if this can be done at border.
