Visit Visa for a visiting potential grad student

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi everyone!
A bit of background info:

I am a Malaysian and I recently completed my Bachelor's degree in the United States. I am currently on the OPT visa which allows me to work for a year. 

Unfortunately, I've been unsuccessful in obtaining a job in my field. Thus, I am now considering graduate school, specifically in Canada. 

My OPT visa is due to expire around September. Once I exit the United States for good, I am thinking of visiting the Canadian universities I am applying to to meet with the faculty. I plan to return home to Malaysia from there. And, if I am accepted into grad school, return to Canada next September (2012). 

I posted on this forum just to see if anyone has some advice for me before I submit my Visit Visa application. Thank you in advance!
