Canada Visa for Chinese F1 Students

Just successfully applied VISA to Canada. It's so much easier to get it if you are holding F1 visa in USA. Basically you just need the following documents to be not refused entry to Canada:

1. Application form

2. Application fee

--- paid with money order is convenient if you're not in the vicinity of any embassies

3. I-20

4. Valid Passport

5. Certificate of registration

--- this can be issued at university admission and registration office

More details are posted on Embassy of Canada.

VISA to USA

never thought it would be this easy and fast to be granted VISA to USA in Hong Kong.

1. make application payment at Da Sing Bank and keep the receipt.
2. submit an application online, also book an appointment.
3. go to the Consulate General, submit your documentary and proofs.
4. leave your finger prints and talk to an officer, results will be disclosed to you right after the talk.
5. wait for 2 days till your visa attached to your passport arrives your house.

that's it. the whole process takes no more than four days, no tedious red tape to go through, and a one year-valid VISA to USA is approved even if I only requested to stay for three days. That's what they call efficiency. It took me one and half a months to get a three days-valid visa to Taiwan, and that's even under special circumstance. Politics can be very interesting....
