I came to Canada on a Visitor Visa and got my spousal open work permit after doing flag-poling at Point Roberts Boundary Bay Vancouver, Canada, just after 2 days of landing. By doing this you can get On-the-Spot work permit. This video explain the entire process of flagpoling.
The term Flagpoling is used when a foreign national who is already in Canada leaves Canada and returns to Canada without crossing into the USA. This can be done to obtain a new temporary residence status such as a renewed study or work permit or to complete the PR process.
Temporary Resident Visa holders usually apply online but the process, can take weeks or months to obtain a SWOP. But by going to the border you may your Work permit immediately.
CBSA tries to limit Flagpoling because it places additional strain on border services. However, it is a perfectly legal process, and application processing is done on the spot.
