Alina, you don’t mention in your video that your school needs to be pgwp-eligible to do this in the first place. Not all schools are approved for pgwp, and flagpoling does not remove those restrictions. You are just Speedo g up the process you would ordinarily do via paper or online submission of an application. Also you say you don’t need a US visa - but in fact you are entering the US and being denied entry - that is the first paper you are given. That may not matter for the Canadian side; however if a person wants to apply to the US and has been previously denied entry- it complicates any application for a US visa in the future. Anyone wanting to do this should be aware of ALL implications before doing this.
@alinadmello Жыл бұрын
Hey, yes this is an alternative to online or paper submission for speeding the process, I did mention you would require strong reasons while flagpoling if asked. As for the US visa, it isn't needed and denied entry, in this case, is for a perfectly legal reason. If you checked the comments one of us did file for a US visa and got approved even after flagpoling. But yes, anyone wanting to do flagpoling should do due diligence before proceeding. Thank you for raising these points and making viewers aware of this, appreciate it 😀
