In the state of Oklahoma, does and F1 student visa allow for part time work like in some other states?  Also, how does a Canadian citizen become an Oklahoma resident?

As a student you can work on-campus part time without authorization. For off campus you need authroziation from Immigration, check with the international student advisor for detailed information.\n\nAs far as becoming an Oklahoma resident you can not. No matter how long you live there you won't become a resident until you become a permanent resident of the United States. You can immigrate to the US thru the same channels as everybody else (lengthy and difficult)\n\nOnce you complete your degree (must have at least bachelor's) , you will ,however, be eligible for a TN (under NAFTA) status that will enable you to work and live in the US. Only Canadian and Mexican citizen are eligible for this status.

Actually this is possible ,however, highly unusual.\nIf you are in the US on a student visa why would you want to have a tourist visa ?\n\nThe visa is used solely for the purposes of entering the US, the actual status that you gain and the amount of time you are allowed to stay is determined by the immigration official at the point of entry.\n\nNow if you already have a b1/b2 visa and you later gain a student visa then it would be possible to have 2 visas. If your tourist visa is valid beyond the student visa validity, they generally do not cancel your tourist visa and they let you keep it for later use. \n\nThe other way around(student visa and then tourist visa) may be a lot more difficult. You'd have to have a good reason for it. I suppose one scenario maybe the if you take a break from your studies, come back home and need to go to the for a short time and later return to the same school to continue your studies. You could ask them to let you keep the student visa when you apply for the tourist one because you plan to go back to school (the school would have to issue you a new I-20). Most of the time ,however, they cancel your old visa when you apply for a new one,

i'm an american who went to university at McGill (montreal).  i finished my degree in three years because of AP credits, but my overall tutition bill was about $21,000 canadian dollars.  at the time (2001-2004) the exchange rate for the u.s. dollar was much better than it is now, and it was only about 15-16 grand total.  my housing was off-campus, but was still pretty reasonable (maybe another 5,000 canadian a year).  in terms of a part-time job, you can get one on campus, provided you check the right box on your student visa (i would recommned checking the box whether or not you plan on getting one right away, as you may change your mind, but if you don;t check yes it's too bad).  to get a job off campus you have to have a worker's visa, which would be much harder to get.  if you'd like any more info, feel free to post as such in the details, and i can get in contact with you.

It depends on what country are you citizen of. If you want a long-time  processing of getting permanent residence you may marry , you may prolong you visiting stay and so on, but the best way -is to apply as skilled worker. Good luck! Canada is the best place to live!

Here is some info on dual citizenship, it is a complicated topic, but this is from someone who obtained dual citizenship:\nhttp://www.richw.org/dualcit/\n\nYou may want to contact a lawyer familiar with immigration or the consulates for the countries, because dual citizenship may not be possible in some situations or may not be the best option for you.  Here is a list of the canadian embassies and consulates, the US is toward the bottom:\n\nhttp://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/world/embassies/menu-en.asp\nI would start with the Canadian side, because they probably have seen this type of situation before and they are known to be a little more friendly.\nI hope that helps, good luck.

im also studying in italy with a student visa, in what area of italy are you studying and are you studying to get a degree here or just for regular classes? it also depends, do you already have a degree?\n\ni would think to have a work visa here in italy you would simply have to apply to a job (if you have a degree and they are interested) you can simply get the job offer, go to the Questura, get the papers needed, fill them in and apply. thats at least what im doing when im finishing my studies. this is also my last year at the university until 'io sono laureata' in industrial design. \n\nif not, just get a simple job kinda like under the table type of thing like so many people do here and eventually after some time, 6 or 7 months apply for a work vida, but you would have to be sure for what 'ditta' or company/restaurant youll be under.\n\nhope it helps!

It is better to go as a student. For immigration purposes, you will be better off. Being a student allows you the time to learn about the place. As an employee, you need an employer to employ you. Won't that be difficult if you have never been there and you are inexperienced, you are only a fresher.Sart small and you will grow. If you really want to work there, as a student, you will have ample time to inquire directly about jobs while studying and it is also easy if you have some experience living in the place you will be better equipped and your immigration statue will also be better. Students are allowed to apply for work permits after a certain period.

You might want to start by contacting an adviser at your medical school.  You might be able to do a student exchange program and work in a medical environment (instead of working in a gas station or convenience store).\n  \nIt's not an easy process. There is a lot of paperwork and it does cost money. My friend, from the UK, applied for a work permit but was denied and she can't figure out why. \n\nThe following link might provide helpful information\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm

There is a ton of information on the web (see link).  You can apply as a skilled worker, but it takes a lot of time.  If you are a US or Mexican citizen you may be able to get in quicker under the NAFTA rules if you find a job in Canada.

From what country?  Canada has some funny immigration laws...best thing to do is call the Canadian Embassy in your area for info.

There is no law that prohibits you from applying to universities, however it may be better if you just apply as a permanent resident once you reach the US since you will be eligible for financial aid consideration. If you apply as an international student, that would mean that you would need to apply for an F-1 visa and that is not your case. Contact the international students counselor at the university of your choice and ask her/him what would be the best route for you. They will be in a better position to point you in the right direction. Good luck!

I am Canadian.  My husband and I own a businesse.  I recently hired a girl from the states.  I think she lied about her status when we hired her.  My neighbours are from the states.  She does not have her green card so cannot work so, she volunteers and her husband and makes very good money.  \nI suggest you figure out what city you would like to live in and depending on your line of work, put an application to the firm or business you would like to be employed by.\nI live in London, Ontario.

You can stay for as long as you like, you just can't work. A TN Visa is tied to a specific offer of employment. You can hunt around for another job, but if you get an offer the company in question has to provide a letter of offer, understanding they are hiring a Canadian for the position, etc, etc... then you have to go back to a port of entry and reapply for a TN visa. Its a convoluted process, but that's the way it is.

NO \nAs an international student your visa allowed only 20 hours per week to work but job which requires honors degree will be minimum 38 h/w.\nDIMIA is very active with international students case so don't risk yourself  to be deproted.\nIf you think you will earn money  and spend it on study and living  as an international student\nUK , USA or Canada would be better option not australia.\nBut \nYes if you want to study and learn and have some fun australia is the best place I belive but you have to bring your tution fees from home.
