So here is my flagpole experience
Today around 2:40 am i went to rainbow border.
I crossed the bridge and got the flagpole paper from usa side
USA officer were so nice and gave me paper and i came to canada, officer asked me why you are here
i told him i wana apply for work permit, and he gave me another paper and gave me direction to go inside the building and another officer will take care of you.
I was going towards building and one officer was outside
he asked me what im doing here, i said im here to apply WP the he took my passport and all the documents and told me have a seat and gave my papers to the other officer.
Then officer called me i went there and he asked me why im here, I told him im here to apply WP.
he asked my study permit and then graduation letter then offer letter.
after 5 mins he said you will get two year WP.
then i said why 2 year it should be three year
he said your graduation letter showing me your program was 2 year so
2 year study program will get 2 year WP
i said my all friends got 3 year after 2 years study and i called cic they told me same thing that you will get 3 years permit.
then he said i have no idea how they got 3 years permit but its rule not mine but cic website have same rule so i cant give you 3 year WP, if you want i can cancel your application right now.
he printed some cic documents and hi-lighted area where they mentioned that duration of study = duration of work permit so 2 year study = 2 year work permit and if 5 year study then max 3 year work permit.
so after 5 6 mins argument, then i said plz cancel my application, i will apply online then he said ok have a seat i will cancel your application.
while i was sitting and thinking seriously cic made this rule, i havent seen it.
to confirm i opened cic website and started reading work permit rule then i found they wrote if you have done 2 years and more study you will get 3 year work permit.
then again i went to the officer and showed him its on cic website that 2 years study will get 3 years WP
then he said ok I give you 3 years WP.
moreover he told me to pay 155 and i paid and got 3 years PW
and whole process took almost 50 mins including 20 mins bridge walk
Now i have some question
i need to withdraw my online application
and separate i have paid 100 extra online through online thing
so my question is do i have to withdraw 2 application
one for 155$ and other $100
or one withdraw application will work ?
thanks
