Has anyone applied for a post grad work permit at the border? A friend of mine wants to go to the states and apply at the border coming back to Canada.....is that possible?
 
No - it's not possible to apply at the border.
 
first he can't do that and that' unnecessary too. If he applies online he will get it in 40 some days (google: application processing time CIC) even if his status is about to expire he will go in implied status where he can continue to work/study

Good luck!
 
My friend knows someone who did it but from Quebec border.
 
Yes you can apply and get work permit at the border. It works the same as getting your intial study permit at any location like major airports in Canada.
