LMO, Entry Visa & Work Permit at POE

[Michelle888]

Hi all!
After receiving the positive LMO for 24 months, as I am from visa exempt country to enter Canada, am I eligible to get my entry visa & work permit at the port of entry at Calgary airport? If yes, what documents do I need to bring with me?
Also I would like to ask regarding the entry visa, is it just a stamp in my passport or is it a separate document? Does this visa expire the same day as my work permit?
Many thanks

1. Assuming you don't require a medical, as you are visitor visa exempt you can apply for the work permit at the first Port of Entry. You require your LMO, your passport and should carry a copy of the job contract if you have one. You will be issued a paper work permit at the POE probably for 2 years, maybe for a shorter though, depending on the Border Officer.

1. Your passport would be stamped and the work permit no. and date of expiry should be placed under it. Your paper work permit is the proof of your status. As you are visa exempt, you don;t get a visa counterfoil which are issued overseas.
