Greetings!!
I'm working on OPT and I just had my H1B approved starting Oct 2013. I need to go visit Nepal in November for some family affairs . I want to have my visa stamped in Canada before I go home and I'm kinda unsure about the whole process. Here are some sitautions relevant to me and I would really appreciate it if someone would help me with their valuable suggestions and or share their experiences.

1) My F-1 visa is no longer valid but  I do have my I-20 with OPT extension until H1B starts in October.Is that a roadblock?
2) What do I do to get Canadian visa now so that I can be ready for the trip around October ?
3) I work as a IT specialist under EVC model. What are the documents that I need to present to the consular office ?
4) Some people advised me to wait 4-5 months after my H1B starts but I really have to visit Nepal in November and I don't really see an option. 
Thank you so much!!
