Hi there,
My brother is one of the fortunate TRV holders who was able to get a Job offer. He is currently waiting for his work permit. He submitted his application online last January 2024. Most recent update that we got was when we sent the ATIP form IMM 5744 last June 2024.
Now, my sister is in a panic saying that he needs to get the work permit before February 2025 or else he needs to go back home. (Edit, His TRV was extended for 1 year prior to submitting the Work Permit application online).
1) As far as I know, the Feb 28, 2025 deadline is for the submission of Work Permit Application. If he already submitted it then he's safe. Am I correct?

It says there: To be eligible to apply, an applicant looking to benefit from this temporary public policy must
3) Is it true that Flagpoling is now limited at 12 U.S.-Canada border crossings?
We are from Alberta and based on this article we need to fly to BC to do that, correct?
