Before you go to Canada,

1. Get appointment date fixed online at the US embassy (Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver etc).

2. Get appointment fixed at the Canadian Embassy nearby and show them that you are going to Canada to renew visa for H1B stamping. (They do not care about your F1 or H1B as long as you are not going to stay there and return back to US).

3. Schedule everything for US visa date and Canadian visa interview date, so that you do not run short of time.

4. Reach Canada 1 or 2 days before Interview.

5. Get all documents from your employer, your project details if you are working through consultancy.

6. Be prepare that if you work for the consultancy and in IT when your degree is non-IT, they ask too many question about the project and sometimes they even ask about the technology you work on, JAVA, .NET. Do some research on the interview pattern.

7. Talk to your employer that if you stuck in Canada due to administrative clearing (background check), will you be able to work remotely as that will take at least 3-4 weeks of stay and during that time, you and employer have to followup with the DHS, USCIS for expediting the processing time.

8. Confirm that your employer is e-verified company, that will shorten your administrative processing time for sure.
