There are lot of US borders in Atlantic canada, but you have to chose which one have immigration services available. You need to verify the serivices section whether they are offering immigration services. As per my knowledge there are no borders which serving immigration services. There is a border in Quebec, which provides immigration services and also bu-fellow near niagara falls. Check CBSA services web page for clear idea.
Appreciated. Thank you so much for detailed information.

I went to the border. Officer requested two additional documents. 1) start date and end date on job offer later
2) visitor visa(which I have already applied online to restore my status). I tried to convince him saying that this is dual intent lmia. And my visitor visa application for Restoration is in process. He said come back with this two documents I will issue wp. At that time He didn't issue me work permit. Now I am planning to apply online for lmia based workpermit. Which currently taking 11 weeks. My question is if I apply online for wp and my visitor visa comes in between still I can go to border for wp?
Hope you understand my question.

You can do it certainly, but you need to call CIC and cancel your online applied WP after you received WP at the border. Which border you went to?Did you show LMIA copy to the officer? There should be a date inside the LMIA copy( 2 years or 1 year ...something). And the officer is not a senior or he/she does not know much rules about how to issue WP.
Hello good folks,
just wondering what would be processing time for dual-intend LMIA (emp5593, option "work permit application and permanent resident visa application" checked). My salary is above $46/hr in Ontario and would qualify for 10 days priority processing for temporary-worker LMIA (emp5602), but what about the dual-intend?
And another question, how long would it take to get a new work permit applying from Canada after a positive LMIA?
I have 5 months left on my current work permit (IEC, non extendable) and wondering which one of above to go for.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Even if you qualify for the 10 day processing, it's still very possible for LMIA processing to take 2-4 months. Unfortunately we've seen plenty of evidence of that on this forum. Your employer should start on the LMIA process asap. If you are visa exempt, I would flagpole to obtain your work permit once you have the approved LMIA.
Hello everyone,
Regretfully my LMIA was denied, supposedly my employer didn't specify hourly wage 0.o
He's supposed to readvertise the position for 4 weeks and reapply.
My question is, how long the reapplication takes? The first time it took four months to get an answer.
Is it posible to appeal instead?
Thank you.-
