Is flag pole allowed for Bridging Open Work Permit BOWP?

[JenniferzZZ]

Hi guys,

Has anyone ever tried flag pole at the border to apply for the bridging open work permit?

Right now the online processing time is 3 months. My current work permit gonna expire next month but I need to leave Canada soon after. I'm wondering if flag pole would work, then I will give it a try

Can anyone kindly share any experience? Thanks so much!!

I have tried to get the bridge work permit today but Border agency denied it and asked to apply online.

Which border crossing ? Assume not an Ontario crossing given the weekend flagpoling restrictions

The border security at Niagara Falls has stopped allowing flagpoling during peak hours, and entirely on certain days.
