Basically i am an accepted refugee and let my work permit expire. I didn’t realize accepted refugees need work permits.
I’m wondering: is it possible for me to go to the Niagra Falls border and flagpole to get a new work permit?

Do you have Valid Refugee Travel Document?
 
No I do not but if I get one I can?

You should be able to flagpole if you get an RTD. However realistically, you will most likely get the work permit approved first by paper / online given how long RTDs are taking to process right now. I'm assuming you have already submitted a paper or online work permit application. Have you?

Flagpoling involves leaving Canada. So you definitely do not want to be doing that without a valid RTD.
