None at this time.
ATTENTION STUDENTS ATTENDING U.S. COLLEGES IN THE FALL - The U.S. State Department has announced that the U.S. Consulates will begin booking visa appointments again starting this upcoming Monday.
Canadian citizens - DO NOT make a visa appointment. Canadians do not need to book a visa interview to study in the United States. The New U.S. University Student Pre-Departure Webinar can answer students' questions about the documents they need to prepare to cross the border.
Canadian PRs and international students (anyone without Canadian or American citizenship) - Monitor the U.S. State Department Visa Appointment website frequently to make a visa appointment at one of the seven U.S. Consulates in Canada located in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, and Halifax.
Social media - Before the visa appointment, students should make their social media accounts public so that the Consular officers can review them. If a student's account is private, it could affect their visa outcome.
Pre-Departure Orientations - Many EducationUSA offices worldwide host pre-departure orientations. Students are encouraged to contact the office in their home country for additional resources and guidance for their visa appointments.
ATTENTION STUDENT ATHLETES- Please check out the NCAA Eligibility Centre Webinar link below for international college-bound student-athletes. This presentation has some excellent information for student athletes (and their families) considering attending a US college or University:
