Hi Rep [requester] clarify further. Scenario 3 is not related to the application for WP upon entry as R 198 (1) and R 190 (3) (f). Rather, the applicant has a VISITOR status and applied for WP to the NY VISA office (Outside of Canada) IMM1295, Thus the APPROVAL LETTER is done by NY VISA OFFICE and issued a LETTER OF INTRODUCTION (LOI) as if they are coming from [requester] question is can such foreign nationals go to the border and flagpole and get the WP printed by CBSA BSO as if they are entering the Canadian border for the first time? 1 am getting hundreds of questions from RCICs and so far I have been told it is not explicitly allowed by a CBSA BSO in Peace [requester], BC, but I am not responsible for IRC policy. We know that some CBSA BSO sometimes misinterprets IRPA/[requester] this to be updated on the IRCC website as an example and that the FN must leave Canada and re-enter Canada as if they are coming from abroad. Scenario 3: A Visitor in Canada applies for a Work Permit through the New York Visa Office (using IMM1295) and is issued a Letter of Introduction and a TRV (W-1 counterfoil). Previously, such individuals could flagpole at the land border to have their Work Permit issued/finalized by a CBSA [requester]: Can these individuals still flagpole at the land border to obtain their Work Permit, or must they leave Canada and re-enter by air to complete the process?
