Yes, they just need to 'flagpole'.

No, the visa application can be done online, but then once the Letter of Introduction is obtained, the actual visa has to be got at a POE, same as with any other visa.

Yes, I get that. You cannot get a visa without either flagpoling, or entering at POE - it's not possible for any sort of visa!

If you applied online for a work permit, then you'd still have to flagpole, and it's the same with an IEC visa.

HTH clarify it a bit.

Now I am confused . Even is the person is from visa exempt country they would still need a visa along with work permit ? Doesn't work permit let you live in a country without a visa ?

A work permit is a type of visa!

Yay, the good old CIC 'misinformation line'! You can't apply for an IEC using a paper application anymore, it has to be done online. Here you go - Do I have to apply online for my IEC work permit or can I apply by mail or in person?

But in any event, you won't get the actual visa without going to a POE, same as any other type of visa i.e. Permanent Residency, TWP, etc.

So, the process is as follows if you're applying for an IEC: you'd apply, get your Letter of Introduction if successful, then go to a POE to actually get the visa. If you don't do the final step to 'activate' your IEC, then the LOI will simply expire, again the same as any other visa (you get a year from the date of medical to activate it for PR, you get a time limit on your LMIA for a TWP, etc).

Does that make sense now?

So that means that cic no longer handles work permits ?

No, why do you think it means they don't handle work permits?

If you're talking about a 'normal' work permit (rather than an IEC), then again you apply to CIC for your work permit online (or a paper app), and get a letter of approval that you take to the POE to get your actual work permit.

As said above, it's the same for all visas - for example, if you applied for PR, then you'd apply to CIC and then if successful, get a 'Confirmation of Permanent Residence' which you'd take to the POE to activate your PR status. If somebody with a Confirmation of Permanent Residence didn't go to the POE to activate it, then it would expire and PR would have to be reapplied for.

Does that make sense now?

For what? (Going to the border)!!

Are you in Canada now? Do you have an IEC visa? A TWP?

Unless I'm really missing something, what exactly is your situation & question??
