As travel increases, the demand for immigration services at border crossings has surged. Fortunately, many essential immigration services are now available online, allowing you to bypass the wait and get your documents processed efficiently.
Immigration Services at the Border
While some temporary residents opt for “flagpoling”—leaving Canada and re-entering within 24 hours to receive immigration services—this practice often results in long wait times and uncertainty. We strongly recommend utilizing IRCC’s online services to ensure a smoother and faster process.
Convenient Online Services
Whether you need to renew your work or study permit, extend your temporary resident status, or confirm your permanent residency, you can do it all online. By planning ahead and applying through our online portal, you can avoid the hassle of visiting a port of entry.
Benefits of Applying Online
Applying online offers numerous advantages:
- Quick Processing:Â Submit your application in advance and receive your new permit by mail before the current one expires.
- Maintained Status:Â If your current permit expires while your application is being processed, you can continue to work or study under “maintained status.”
