Canada ended the practice of flagpoling for work and study permits at ports of entry, requiring renewals through IRCC instead. This aims to streamline port operations and border enforcement. Limited exemptions apply,
The Canadian government has decided to end the practice known as "flagpoling," where individuals seeking work or study permits would leave and re-enter Canada at border points to expedite their application process. This decision, effective from June 21, 2024, aims to reduce the strain on border services and enhance the efficiency of processing times for these permits. Flagpoling has been criticized for causing long lines and delays at border crossings. Instead, applicants are now encouraged to use online application systems or visit inland offices for processing. This change is part of broader efforts to streamline immigration processes and improve service delivery, ensuring that border resources are used more effectively for their intended purposes.
