    Flagpole NB Edmundston

    Hey I know other larger border entries are more popular for flagpoling, but I was wondering if anyone has experience of flagpoling at Edmundston NB or indeed of other smaller POEs. Edmundston is a 2h drive for me versus a 4h drive to Woodstock NB, so if I can do it there that would be best.

    Submitting update application materials

    Hey, Just wondering if anyone has had a similar situation. I submitted a closed WP extension and have now noticed that the expected duration of employment dates on my form likely don't match what the employer submitted when applying for the A number, i.e they put March 2024 and I've put march...

    Closed WP wrong "In force from" date

    Hey, Just got my new closed WP, but the issue date and in force date are the same 5-10-2020, but I'm not actually changing jobs until 1-12-2020. The dates are correct on the application and in the offer of employment letter, so not sure why they've not put 1-12-2020. Anyone had this happen and...

    Extending a LMIA exempt work permit

    I know about the conditions of getting one. My problem is that it's not clear to me how that information links to correctly describing the 'type of work' on the application questionnaire, so that I generate the correct forms for the renewal.

    Extending a LMIA exempt work permit

    Sorry I should have offered a bit more context. I'm a postdoc, if I choose my type of work as "academic exchange, conducting research or training" (as has been suggested here) that does seem to bypass the LMIA requirement, but then I'm asked for a letter of invitation which also seems wrong...
