Thanks to @jcaron, I was able to figure out what I needed to do and got in touch with an agent at a POE. I was told that it doesnβt matter which POE you come in or when, as long as the border crossing is open, you can get the visa.
P.S. I was told by someone else itβs best to cross into the province where you need the work visa, e.g., if you are working in Ontario, cross the border into Ontario. Not sure if itβs still possible to do it crossing into another province; my guess is it probably is, but that is pure speculation.
