US citizen getting temporary work permit

Postby timo on Tue Mar 29, 2011 1:36 pm

I am planning on working at a restaurant in BC this summer. I already have a postivite LMO and a written job offer. If I bring the LMO and the job offer, along with the other necessary documentation, and fees, can I expect to get the work permit at the Calgary airport? Like I said, I'm a US citizen so I don't need a tourist visa, and already have the LMO and written job offer.
Thanks,
Tim

Passport visa exemption nationals (such as a US citizen) may seek a work permit at a port of entry while in possession of a LMO or in most cases of LMO exemption, assuming that adequate documentation of eligibility is presented.
