NY Officials Urge Canada to Halt 'Flagpoling' Immigration Practice at Border

✅Northern New York leaders are urging Canada to stop "flagpoling," where individuals briefly enter the U.S. to receive same-day immigration services upon re-entry to Canada. Garry Douglas of the North Country Chamber of Commerce criticizes this practice for burdening U.S. customs officers and hindering tourism and business due to increased border traffic. Immigration lawyer Leslie Holman notes that flagpoling provides faster permit renewals compared to lengthy online processes. She warns that ending it could create significant issues. Douglas suggests Canada improve its online system, while Holman recommends an appointment system to manage border traffic efficiently. Some border crossings have already limited flagpoling hours. .
