So the time has come that i had to flagpole to get my new visa so i thought i would share with y'all how go go about getting your new visa.
You have a few options on doing this which include going to the states for the day or just simply going to the border and back. I chose to just go to the border and back as i had work the next day.
I went to Point Roberts which you can get to quite easily from downtown. It is about an hour and half away from Downtown so alot quicker than going to Seattle or Portland. You get the Canada line to Bridgeport and get the 601 bus to South Delta and get off at the second last stop. You just go threw the park and turn right onto 1st ave and just walk along and you will see it. Once there you have to go to the building furthest away as you arrive. It's the white building and you have to stand on the pavement next to the queuing cars. Eventually someone in the window will call you forward. Tell them you have to leave and re-enter Canada in order to claim a Canadian work permit.
They will give you a piece of paper and send you to the Canada building. Once there, there are footprints on the floor for people walking up, again you'll be standing next to queuing cars. Eventually one of the Canadian border people will call you forward. Tell them your there to claim your new work permit and they will send you to the main building.
Once there the border official will take your passport and letter of acceptance and they other documents that they want to see and ask you to take a seat. All being well you should get your new permit within about 20 minutes.
I went on a tuesday around 1pm so it was fairly quiet so it is best to go around midday during the week so you can get done quickly.
Hope this was helpful
