I would like to know whether somebody has tried to do flagpoling with a valid VISIT visa to canada to get a work permit at the border. Or is it possible to do so if all the requirements are at hand (LMO, contract and so on) even if you came from a country which is NOT a visa exempt?

Or is it possible to apply it from inside canada in Vegreville?


Thank you

No. Initial work visa/work permit should be applied for at a visa office/consulate/CHC/embassy outside Canada.
