Is entering US from Canada for F-1 student who has been arrested?
I am an F-1 student and I was arrested once in the US for a misdemeanor charge. The case was dismissed and sealed. I have a certificate that says so. Whenever I enter the US at JFK I am taken to a room and they ask to see the paperwork and everything is fine after that. I am planning on traveling to Vancouver. I know that the US custom is at the Vancouver airport and I won't go through it at JFK. Would they be able to validate the paperwork and let me into the US? Would there be any problems?

Yes, they can admit you as a student if they find no reason not to. If you were admitted at JFK after the explanation, there is no reason to be denied entry at VCV.
2 :
If Immigration at JFK has allowed you to return, I can't imagine why you'd be denied at a different immigration checkpoint. Bring your passport, of course, to show that you've been admitted to the US after the arrest and you should be fine.
3 :
Each and EVERY time you apply for admission to the United States, it is up to the alien to prove that they are admissible. That is the law under the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) aka Title 8.

No, you can't get a working holiday visa. The United States do not offer general working holiday programs for Canadians, hence Americans cannot participate in this program offered by Canada since it is based on reciprocity. http://www.international.gc.ca/iyp-pij/country_incoming-pays_entrants.aspx .. The only program available is the Summer Work/Travel program which however requires to be a student.

I am a law student at the University of Ottawa, and happen to be taking an immigration law class right now. I should also say that if you want good legal advice, talk to a real lawyer, so take what I say with a grain of salt. The law you're interested is the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its associated regulations. The relevant clause is section 11 of IRPA, which notes that you do, in fact, need to leave the country to apply for permanent resident status (PR status). However, there is a new class of immigration (the "Canada Experience Class") for people who are already students in Canada who want to become permanent residents, which is more streamlined than some other methods. Honestly I don't know much about it, but you may be able to stay in Canada if you apply under this class. Talk to a lawyer. If you get married (or are in a conjugal relationship for one year), and you can satisfy an immigration officer that you did not get married mainly in order to get PR status, then your spouse/partner can sponsor you and speed up the process greatly, and avoid money requirements. Your sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (s. 13(1) IRPA) who is at least 18, resides in Canada, is not in jail, has not committed a serious crime, and is not on social assistance for a reason other than disability (s. 133(1) Regulations). Usually the sponsor must also have a minimum necessary income to support you, but there is an exception for spouses/partners (s. 133(4) Regulations). In order to get PR status, you also must not be "inadmissible" (defined in ss. 34-43 IRPA). There are three main categories of inadmissibility: (1) public safety / security (terrorists, criminals, people with infectious diseases); (2) public finances (people with serious medical conditions or who would end up on social assistance); and (3) people who lie on their immigration forms. It cannot be emphasized enough: do NOT lie about anything on your immigration forms, or you will be banned from Canada for up to two years. Hope this helps, -dhm.

Hello, After your marriage, you can apply for permanent residence in Canada without having to leave Canada. Please visit http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp for the guide and necessary forms. Thank you for your attention. Good luck.

if i am studying on a student visa in canada, and i get married, can i change to permament residence without leaving the country and without disrupting my studies? I think so assuming you are marrying a canadian citizen. you stay on the student visa as an international student in order to finish your program. You must still pay international fees. The canadian spouse must have a job or an income and they can apply for PR status for you. Applying as an inside application will take between 1 and 2 years to be processed.. If you finish your course you can apply for a post graduate work permit and get a job. (the canadian experience category) If at any time your work permit is denied, then you reapply as a visitor (because you have a PR application in process) and stay in Canada as a visitor (this is now the family class catefory) until you are landed as a PR. Please note that as a visitor you cannot work or study.

Question about travelling from Canada to US for Indian citizen with Candian student visa?
Question about travelling from Canada to US for Indian citizen with Candian student visa?
I am wondering if students who are having student visa in Canada but are from India can come into US for visit? If they can, what is the procedure and how do they apply for visa, how much will it cost? If not what is the cheapest way to travel between Toronto and Windsor? Any idea if they are eligible for the ISIC card which gives them student discount rate when travelling?

1- you will need a visa to enter the US 2- this july the rate for visa or any immigration services for the US will be change meaning+ (know this because my friend told that she wants to file for her citizenship before the rate is higher because the application will be $900.00) my advise to you is to call the US imbassador in India and ask them (that is if you are still in India) The cheapest way to travel from Toronto to Windsor probably is by boss or Train and when you call for the reservation ask them if you can have studend discounts Good luck

I currently live in the US and plan on moving to Canada after college. I'm planning on getting a college degree in Psychology, and am not sure if the University of Toronto would accept a student into their graduate program with a degree from the US.

My graduate program at U of T (Medieval Studies) is more than half international students. I'm sure Psychology can handle an application from someone with an American degree.
