刚落地？持中国护照？办美国H1签证手续和中国差不多，先找好工作，然后由公司帮你办。但你可能会丧失加拿大永久居留权。 -rolling(Rollor); 2001-2-23 (#28219@0)

谢谢。这里的气候真受不了，不居留也罢。但美国工作得过去找，想办一个旅游签证之类的，过去找到工作后再办H1。不知道什么类型的签证最容易办,而且有效期比较长? -elroyy(Elroyy); 2001-2-23 (#28221@0)

I am eating that grapeyou know how much is that grape? 110K USD. sure you can not eat it -guest:guest; 2001-2-26 {66} (#28692@0)

Dear friend, I admire you very much. You dare to risk it. -guest:Good luck.; 2001-2-26 (#28696@0)
Take care, my friend. -guest:; 2001-2-26 {738} (#28698@0)
Hehehe, Guy, do you read my word? I tell ya I need not eat that kind of grape. Why do you tell me how big the grape is? And does that company pay you this salary for your trick?It's not strang for this money, someone dare to face risk. But it's strange if those one who follow law of this world cannot get reasonable payback. -diao_david(David Diao); 2001-2-26 {151} (#28728@0)

Does it worth to stay in Toronto to endure the cold weather, the low income, high tax for 4 years to just get the Canada citizenship?Most probably you will move to the US after you get the citizenship on TN1 ( a temporary working visa). Why not immigrate to US directly? -guest:guest; 2001-2-26 {137} (#28735@0)

if you get a good job in the US, you can apply US green cardit would not take long time to get US green card comparing to
get Canada citizenship. The purpose of a lot of persons immigrated
to Canada is to go to US. Why not go there directly. And even after
you get your Canada citizenship, if you want to apply US green card,
you still need H-1B. -guest:guest; 2001-2-25 {293} (#28503@0)

I am in Toronto now, if I have a I-20 from a US university, is it easy to get US visa from Canada? That is not a travel visa. Thank you! -guest:yy; 2001-2-25 (#28492@0)

I don't know. Sorry. -rolling(Rollor); 2001-2-25 (#28499@0)
The process to get the F-1 VISA is the same as in China, except the officer are different. The officers working in China know Chinese too well. From my experience, whether you can get the F-1 VISA or notis 50% depends on the mood of the officer who interviews you that day, and 50% depends on your academy and background.

Good luck to your US study. -wonton_soup(Wonton Soup); 2001-2-25 {149} (#28558@0)

Had an interview with a company in US couple days ago. They showed strong interest on my background but we could not get to a deal later. Why?From our conversation over the phone, I can smell they don't want to take the risk cause the H1 process will take 8-12 weeks. They don't know what is going to happen to me after 2-3 months, especially in the IT field. So they ask me to contact them when I get the citizenship.

So good luck to your US job hunting! -wonton_soup(Wonton Soup); 2001-2-23 {318} (#28267@0)
