What about Canada layover with a US visa. Does one need a Canadian visa?

leef2022:
Thank you for your prompt feedback. He has learnt a lot. I warned him against it. I did my Canada and US study visa myself 6 years ago and got both visas. God bless! I will be back to share the outcome. He is planning to apply the first week in May. Thank You!

But wait, you guys should allow these agents rest init...... Always the agent messed up, wasn't aware, like the wrongs always starts and ends with the agents... Ignorance is SIN.. it isnt in the bible for no reason that my people perish for lack of knowledge.....

1. If he encounters such question and it states within the last 10 years, he would have to disclose it... just to add it is safer to disclose such either ways during the application and be clean on events.
2. No. UKVI does not require travel insurance for standard visa application, as such that is optional.
3. Yes. That is sufficient.

Bros I remember you on this thread... Conflict resolution, NGO and so on when we were saying bros you will not come back you seem offended now you don taste amelika you don't want to come back to your work again... Just get your docs and report at any community college but even at that they are no longer admitting for summer... Look for a SEVIS certified language school transfer your SEVIS record there, you can at least use that to maintain your F1 status and buy some time till you decide what you want to do next.

try using flights.idealo personally i think wakanow is too basic

gunther6:
D/S means duration of status , when your program time elapses it is either you get admitted into another school or vacate the US, your one month program does not qualify for OPT. Tick tock

Disclaimer : I might annoy you but pardon me I mean well.

That been said your profile looks fishy and 'agent packaged' to me... You used to work for an NGO and you quit meaning you are currently unemployed (Red flag 1)

You applied for B1 (which makes the whole situation looks like Visa shopping)

You applied to a one month course in international development and social change ( most short term certificate courses don't qualify for F-1 but not all schools knows this)

Conclusion: The whole thing looks like an attempt to get into the United States without passing through the rigor of graduate application ( GRE, TOEFL, evaluation etc) and it is shoddy. My take; apply to a graduate program in this field, demonstrate your experience and get into a good school. Holla your agent for me but if it stinks like a fish, looks like a fish, tastes like a fish then it is a FISH


NB Read the disclaimer again I can be wrong and I lay no claim to omnipotence in this affair. If I'm wrong my apologies to Leye

iamleye:
The course fall in the F-1 category, got my I-20 and also paid a deposit (Students and Academy) and again I don't receive salary, I volunteer! my God father is sponsoring me with good account statement and sponsorship letter. Anyway thanks so much I will take notes of ur few points. Thanks

imperiouxx:
Do you mean you're going for a M1 visa, which is for short term trainings? Anyways, have a good job with good pay. Have a good recommendation from your direct supervisor at work. Have a connection between your current position and the 1 month course i.e the course is part of the job's requirement for promotion. Have good home ties. Be able to convince anyone as to why you need this course. All the best.

slimmy2005:
Alright , hope it's work related training? What's your profile?

wine4dguy:
am on the admission process and am just curious

slimmy2005:
and you were issued I-20?

don4ye:
What is your email I can send it to you

slimmy2005:
if you can send western union of the equivalent I can help you guys make the payment. You'll need to fill a coupon online. www.fmjfee.com click on I-20 and fill the information carefully and accurately. It's 210.50 including western union charge.

tjwolex:
