How to avoid Flagpoling?

[tomwong1027]

I have already applied for the work permit under "Public policy: Open work permits for Hong Kong recent graduates" from outside of Canada. My application is approved, but the final decision will be made when I enter Canada. The problem is that I am already phyically present in Canada. The covid situation makes the flag poling far more difficult. Is there any way to avoid crossing to border? I have tried to contact IRCC several times to change the application to within Canada but no lucky.
