Dear all, I am new to this sajha network. I have seen many helpful advices from very intellectual people in this network. I am also hoping some thoughts on my matter. I will be graduating this may. This will be my second masters. I had hard time finding job from my first job and still the situation hasn't improved yet. To make the case worst, I won't be granted OPT for the second masters as I already used it up in my first masters. Employers aren't ready to sponsor me straight away as they want to test any new employee during his/her OPT period. My concern at this moment is if there is any online-courses, for instance, GRE prep courses that will issue my an I-20 for the time being.

i completely understand your wish to settle down here but plan smartly...may be start applying to canadian immigration as you probably will collect enough points to immigrate there faster and may be in the future you can come back to us.....keep up the job search in the mean time

Why don't you find some University offering CPT, and pursue your career? Don't waste your time my friend. Think smartly, Or in the mean time try to get admisson in some cheap community college in Texas, process for Canada like lot of people doing in Houston area, Ghanta hanera. I might be among them you never know.......

What do u think which one is best option CPT or CANADA Migration..

ocinboy · Mar 1, 2010 2:45 PM

I think rather than studying on and on its better to Canadian PR and start working.

Thank you all for your wise thoughts. I am still on about looking for job, In fact I got some calls and had couple interviews. But as soon they realize my visa status they become skeptical. I don't blame the employers either. Canada migration don't sound that bad. I think I can grab some point thru my academic and internship experience. I knowledge about Canada Migration is very thing. I know Sajha is better than Google itself when it comes to immigration solutions. If any one has any Idea about Canada migration, a web link, or whatever, that will be greatly appreciated.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/ This is an official government site for canada migration.

So many people trying to migrate to canada.........I do not understand why immigration in US is so difficult for students. For canada immigration, I find out that there is a special category where US H1 and work permit holder can apply with better chance of getting permanent residence.
