Hi everyone,
I am an international student in Canada since September 2018. I have just received a coop offer starting 6th May 2019, however I will be applying for a coop permit on 21st February.
Considering the current processing time of 84 days, I will not get my coop work permit on time for the job. For this reason, I was wondering if I can swing by the nearest US border (I do not have US Visa) and receive my coop work permit.
I have not heard before if anyone has done this for coop work permit, I know its a common practice for PGWP/PR.
If anyone has been in a similar situation, please share your inputs. I am very nervous at this point and do not know if I'll be able to join my coop in time.
Thanks,
Archit
