PART II
If there is one thing I like, it is when someone contributes and adds to an
answer with specifics. Don Cameron is a former Canadian Consul in Seattle
and was with Canadian Immigration in places like Beijing, Kenya and
Jerusalem. He wrote the Canadian Immigration's Internal Newsletter for
years. Don points out the actual sections to use when applying at the
border.

David,
While not all applicants for Work Permits can apply for them at Ports of
Entry to Canada, those who are entitle to do so are described in the IRPR
below:
"Application on entry
198. (1) Subject to subsection (2), a foreign national may apply for a work
permit when entering Canada if the foreign national is exempt under Division
5 of Part 9 from the requirement to obtain a temporary resident visa.
Exceptions
(2) A foreign national may not apply for a work permit when entering Canada
if
(a) a determination under section 203 is required, unless
(i) the Department of Human Resources Development has provided an opinion
under paragraph 203(2)(a) in respect of an offer of employment -- other than
seasonal agricultural employment or employment as a live-in caregiver -- to
the foreign national, or
(ii) the foreign national is a national or permanent resident of the United
States or is a resident of Greenland or St. Pierre and Miquelon;
(b) the foreign national does not hold a medical certificate that they are
required to hold under subsection 30(4); or
(c) the foreign national is a participant in an international youth exchange
program, unless they are a national or permanent resident of the United
States or their application for a work permit was approved before their
entry into Canada. SOR/2004-167, s. 54."
When applying at a Port of Entry applicants must be prepared to show
documents establishing that they meet the requirements of the position they
have been offered - such as the education or experience required. In other
words, the same procedure as if they were applying for entry to the U.S. as
a NAFTA Professional.
Best regards,
Don
