The placement statistics from the Rotman school of Management website is quite impressive.
I've a few questions for you. How bright are the job prospects after doing an MBA from U of T in the current recession wolrd? Are part-time MBA students given equal opportunity in job placements? What's the % of placement among Canadian vs US employers?. Howmuch salary can a person with Engineering degree + US experience + Canadian MBA expect to get?
Placement statistics there are hyped up. Not that great. However the US ones are also hyped. So lets be fair here. US school dont tell
foreign students that without GC employers dont even want to look at you. Even Harvard foreign students are having a very bad time.
Plus here they allow spouse to work. If the marriage is more than 3 years , then that
spousal work permit leads to resident tuition as well. In US F4 cant work. Even you cant work off campus. Without working you have to support 2 persons (for married people)
Compared to Canada, US literally treats foreign students like dogs....I dont understand why people from India still come to do MS in US. Yes I know I have done MS in US and MBA in Canada....so I can compare first hand.
Let me be honest. Opportunities in Canada is no way compared to US for a US Citizen/GC.
However if you are not a US Citizen/GC then you are far better off in Canada.
Lately Rotman is a bit too expensive for non-resident tuition. So I wont recommend that to international students. However you can choose U of Calgary etc. I was a PR before I joined Rotman so I got loans, worked part more than 20 hrs week (often more than 30 hrs). Leaving H1B job in US for a MBA in Canada was one of the best decisions I have taken. In fact I was so convinced that I should not do MBA in US that I didnt even apply in
US schools.
Answering your specific questions
International students in Canada are doing better than international students in US who need an H1B. In Canada after 1st they all applied for
PR and are close to getting PR Plus they get 3 year unrestricted work permit. It has been bad. But now I see eventually all are getting full time employment.
Part time students cant apply through the full time career center. But they can talk and annend info session. Most people including fulltime
MBA get jobs outside career center.
US experience isnt give a premium. Canadian experience is always prefered. 60K to 70K is the typical salaries that foreign students are getting. Well I never said that Canadian oppotunities are great but what i can say is that Canada is a better option if you are not a
GC/USC.
It is hard to compare Canada vs India. India as other problems. If you want finance sector jobs then it is Bombay. It involves long travel
of 2 hours in locals each way. 4 hours travel...there is no personal time left after work. I personally cant take it...it might be different
for others. Power problems, traffic jam etc is there. It about what you consider quality of life, and that is different from person to person.

The American Academy of Nursing is NOT in poor light. Did you read their prescription for the nurses staffing and issues related to it?
With comments like these, we are digging our own grave. The issue is retrogression and not hopital and health care economics. I pay USD 14000 for a family of four and by god's grace, never been to one.
I know may of these nurses who are being exploited by the bodyshops like HLG. They pay a meagre salary to nurses and exploit them on signed contract. Please, please.. use your brains minus emotion.
American Academy of Nursing (http://www.aannet.org/news/2006/06022006.asp)
Well they are also shouting about Nurse shortage just like Corporate America is shouting about shortage of H1Bs.
Actually there is also a severe shortage of Doctors in US. However
unlike "American Academy of Nursing" where medical industry
has strong influence. AMA is for doctors but they lobby for doctors and not
the medical industry and time and again they have acted to:
1) reduced the medical procedures that nurses can do for their own selfish interests
2) deliberatly crafted the residecy rules to make it very hard for foreign doctors to get licensed in US.
3) AMA has a kind of alliance with another very powerful lobby
(pharma Lobby)
AMA (doctors) in turn says that imported drugs from canada are unsafe.
In turn pharma lobby backs the AMA lobby interests.
So what can IV work realistically:
Work against any increase of H1B or try to reduce it.
Work against EB visa grap by Schedule A
They only IV will be heard. Unless you set their houses(vested interests)
on fire then only you will be heard.
Look at History. Till we started the non cooperation movement, British Govt did not care for India's
independence. In World War 1 they gave a false promise of independence if Indian National Congress (INC)
cooperated. Eventually with the non cooperation movement, the idea of keeping India as a colony became
fiancially unviable. Also britian was broke due to the 2 world wars.

I got approval email too. It cant be sheer luck that so many people are getting the approvals when it was taking 3 months as per their published processing times. Looks to me they just want to give 1 yr EAD to as many as possible. Good way to make money in recession year.
It was general observation that Paper Based EAD is getting approved very fast. We have quickest approval in only 18 days (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=250677#post250677). And this was reported a month ago (on 05/23/2008).
So I think it is their speed - it has nothing to do with intention to give 1 year EAD. On the avarage, people are getting EAD in 25 days.
Myself went ahead with e-filing (this takes 50 days). My FP is scheduled after 5 weeks of notice date (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737). For E-filing, they have different process,which has not changed in last two months.

Millions of Indians cannot fix the bureaucracy at CGNY - but we expect a counter-worker at AF to bypass the French visa bureaucracy. AF is a crappy airline - but it is not racist. Good Luck.
True, but Airline CAN give some 'guarantee' to get the transit visa for passengers. I flew Singapore Airline, and they arrange transit passenger to take a tour of the city, if the stopover is , i guess, more then 3 or 4 hrs.
So, I don't buy the argument that its not in their hand. If they wanted they could have done it. Period.
When one group right in front of your own eyes gets to stay in a hotel and the other group are left high and dry to loiter in the airport (citing they dont have transit visa), I call it absolutely a kind of Discrimination. I dont give a crap about Transit Visa.
Wow!! you are generalizing here about one community here. So, you mean to say folks from Boston, US are going to runaway in Paris to seek asylum because they dont like the homes and jobs in US????? Yeah!!! Paris is a paradise, and everybody on this planet wants to somehow get there..

My two friends are leaving.
They are completing six years. Their labour is approved. but I 140 is not approved.
They applied for their labour in sixth year.
Due to retrogression they are unable to apply for I 485 and EAD. They are working as DB2 DBA's.
They choose last option to leave the USA.

Totally agree with you. I know guys who worked in production support and QA applied in EB2. At the same time people like me in positions such as Architect went with the ill-fated EB3. It is sad, but is the truth.
Dear Architect:
Get your "Bu__" moving and try getting another job which will qualify you for an Eb2. Stop whining like a Public sector employee and get out of your comfort zone. Go achieve something.

If you have a good experience with your lawyer and are recommending the law firm, pls also try to talk to your lawyer about IV. Ask the law firm if they want to contribute/ or even publicize IV to their clients. If they agree to do it, please post here. If they refuse, pls post here.
So when you write about how good your lawyer is, pls also mention if the lawyer supports IV and the help that has been extended to IV.
This will help maintain a list of lawyers who are recommended by members and at the same time, help IV.
Good point, Pappu. Yes, Cyrus has been supportive of IV even mentioning its successful role towards the effective resolution of the July Visa Bulletin:http://www.cyrusmehta.com/Print_Prev.aspx?SubIdx=ocyrus2007720184422
He also mentions the DC rally in one his newsletters on his website (September, I think) and in an article submitted to the indiapost.com

Problems will not go away. Such incidents may happen elsewhere or in the same place.
If Air France was genuine they should have made everyone stay in the same place or atleast talk to theie department of immigration and arrange a temporary supervised visa and take all people to the hotel.
They just did not care
Can't agree with you more. Screw them and never fly with them. Then they will realize what it means. I don't see any issues with on spot transit visas in such circumstances. What if there was a terrorist attack on airport? They will still ask for transit visas for Indians to get outside airport? Best is avoid Europe at all costs and fly direct. Avoid any city in between including middle eastern cities.

The USCIS/DOS set quotas for visa numbers because the United States does not want to be overwhelmed with immigrants. And these quotas are spread evenly through all nations and ethnic backgrounds. Considering the populations of the "oversubscribed" nations, this is justified. I can see where the immigrants from these nations feel "discriminated against" in the fact that they receive a smaller percentage (NOT NUMBER) of visas per capita than ROW countries. This does not make the system unfair. And if you think that certain countries get special treatment, think again; there are plenty of people in ROW (like me) who have been waiting for years as well!

CIR is going to be back for sure no doubt about it and when it comes back it is going to be the same bill. Harrry Reid is just creating a drama so that he can reduce the number of amendments introduced by the republicans. There are currently more than 30 to 40 amendments remaining, with this drama harry reid is trying to reduce the amendments to about 5 or 6 more amendments.
We should try something like applying for 485 without priority date but even the cantwell cornyn amendment does not have this provision
There is a SLIM chance that CIR might come back this year, but if this CIR is taken again with its current provision for the EB Category and H1B in it, it is very bad for many of us.
Plan B, I think must be, trying to insert or get some sort of SMALL provision that would alleviate the problem for vast majority of us, into some appropriation bill (Read some where there will be 11 appropriation bill taken up this summer) as the appropriation bill must have to pass for the government to function.
I would either try for filing AOS while visa numbers are not available with an extra fee of $1000… or recapture of unused visas from previous years and use them once without country limit might help. As long as we are not asking for some thing new or more, but like recapture, change of process to ease the current problem, etc might have a SMALL chance.

Under the Fees section, it stated that if you filed your I485 on or after July 2007, and you paid the I485 fees, then no fees is required. Does that mean that I don't have to pay for the $305 for my advanced parole?
My I485 was received sept 2007, and I paid for the I485 fees, offcourse. This is something that I'm not too sure.
The filers who ever filed in July 2007 to August 15 2007 need to pay Advance parole money also.

Only god knows what processes, rules and regulations they follow. I am glad that i am maintaining H1B status with my I-485 and never used EAD.
Its just so disturbing that you are at the mercy of USCIS who didn't know anything about how to look and process the application.
when you use AC21 it means you used EAD right ?
How can you use AC21 and still be on H1 ? could you give us more info on this pls.
