Yes, do exactly that. If you have your documents with you, go to the border. You can find encouragement from members here who have shared some of their experiences from page 16, 17, & 18 of this forum.nevillek said:I am actually on holiday in the US right now while my PGWP application is in progress for over 2 months now and my SP is expiring soon.
Since the border I'm intending to flagpole at (if necessary) is separated by an underground tunnel, I cannot walk through like other borders and would need to hire a taxi to drive from the Canadian to the US side and return back and have to spend over $100 just for that.
Instead, can I ask for the PGWP on my way back from US to Canada when my actual US trip comes to an end? I have all the required documents with me in the US so I wouldn't have to go back to Canada first to get them.
Any advice?
Its not any different from applying through CIC before it expires. Therefore, too close or less close doesn't matter. As long as you apply at the border before your SP expires. That's the key in all various applications.Kayeebun said:My study permit is expiring on July 30th and I applied on May 27th. I'm thinking of flagpole but is it too close to the expiring date on my permit? Thank you.
Like in every application whether online, paper, or flagpole, there's always a possibility of being denied. Flagpoling ain't bullet proof. Its process is similar to other processes. Its all about satisfying the immigration officers with your documents and the answers you give to the questions they ask. If you fail to provide all the necessary documents they need to process your application, just like online or with paper applications, you will be denied.umssyed said:Is there any chance of rejection for a pgwp while flagpoling? Would it affect my online application?
If I have my online application in process, would flagpoling affect it somehow?
