Yes, but inland applications can get a work permit and most applicants will get OHIP through that before AIP comes into play.

The apply reject appeal flow only works once you have received “approved in principle”, which is a step before CoPR being issued. It’s usually not much in advance of that on most applications. AIP is not usually shared with the client, but sometimes shows up on paperwork. read the last few...

If they've been living in USA, it's not flagpoling as CBSA has defined it. So CBSA is supposed to provide landing 24/7. I'd recommend the bigger crossings (e.g. Peace Bridge), but they're all supposed to provide the service. Sunday evenings get busy in general, so daylight hours should mean less...

I agree. It should not be this way, Canada should be better than this. You put in your application, got accepted, paid your PR fee, followed their publications, and still got refused service. And CBSA gets *FULL* government funding for landing PRs (even flagpole cases). I recommend...

For the first year+ of CBSA's anti-immigration flagpoling program, they kept it a secret from the public. In August 2018, they finally mentioned it on their website. But it looks like in November or December 2018, they're not officially mentioning it on their website anymore.

1. Why was it refused? 3. If you live/work in Quebec and don't have a CSQ, landing for PR could be a serious problem. Here's a case of another unknown individual's experience:

It would help if you posted your starting city.

Since USwife is a US Citizen, why not enter USA? Entering should be a breeze. Only the applicant needs to attend, not the sponsor. Entering as a Canadian isn't much more difficult. At least I can't avoid the opportunity for US shopping or US fast food ;) Usually people's worries with flagpoling...

But anash did show up during the Pilot Project’s advised times, and was still refused. So WTF is going on at CBSA? It wouldn’t be the first time government acted against people’s rights. What I find interesting is that CBSA still publishes at these PoEs that it offers Immigration Services...

Perhaps my wording could have been clearer. They can reject you based on the standard PR validation questions, but they cannot refuse to let you get to that point and consider your application. I’m not a lawyer, but these two lawyers seem very confident that CBSA doesn’t have the authority to...

Hi Arash. That is unfair. CBSA is not authorized to reject PR validation at the Ports of Entry. You should consider filing a complaint with CBSA management here: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/feedback-retroaction-eng.html You shouldn’t be rejected when following both IRCC and CBSA’s...

Hi all, Anyone who was rejected from their application for "flagpoling" MUST file a complaint through CBSA here: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/feedback-retroaction-eng.html CBSA is NOT allowed to reject "flagpolers". Top Canadian lawyers have agreed with me here. Even those that made...

We don't really know the exact criteria. I pulled some teeth from IRCC and was able to find out that only applications where the PA is a citizen of a country with high-approval rates get into OB570 stream. IE: Western/Central Europe and some of the more EU-aligned E. European countries, USA...

Here's a good read from the Toronto Star on flagpoling: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/05/06/canada-clamps-down-on-flagpoling-with-immigration-restrictions-at-some-border-crossings.html

Your linked video is out-of-date since the forms changed: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/forms/request-5744/new-constent-form.html

Hi all, As the sponsor, I filled out a Privacy Act request to CBSA. I included in my request "GCMS notes". They gave them to me after submitting a consent from the Primary Applicant. All within 30 days. I also requested other info like travel history and secondary inspection reports. The...

Could someone post the blank consent form that OERC asks for? It would save us and them time to just submit it up-front. I was probably doomed, but I failed at convincing the supervisor at ServiceOntario that a passport request must mean we were past the point of being “eligible to apply”...

Interesting that they would say that, since it seems that CBSA legally has no choice but to land people at Ports of Entry. FYI: our PR card took ~ 6 weeks to arrive earlier this year.

It requires a bit of configuration, but you can do it on voip.ms for about a dollar a month. You can forward the number to another number. But the minimum amount of credit to add is US$25.
