F1/OPT student visa want to travel to Canada by driving?
F1/OPT student visa want to travel to Canada by driving?
I'm a student from Taiwan and holding a F1/OPT right now. my OPT will be expired in 04 September 08. I am planning to travel to Canada by driving on 08/03/2008 - 08/10/2008, if I have all the employee letter, OPT card, I-20 ...etc. all the documents, will it be a good idea to leave United state just a month before my OPT expired? am i going to have hard time re-enter the United State? and also, Canada tourist Visa is require for taiwanese, if I travel by driving. no round trip ticket. will that be okay to apply for canada tourist visa? Thank you

If you only holds OPT, I don't recommend you to travel outside of the US at all. All international student advisors should tell their students that holding an OPT does not mean you can re-enter the US. Most students who hold OPT do not go travel within this year because it's very possible to get rejected at the border when enter, not to mention that you will be leaving one month prior the exp. date. Because your opt expiring in one month and you do not show how you are going to prove to the CAN border that you will not overstay in Canada. I doubt if you can even get into Can. border. You may be rejected at the border. In terms of visa, yes, you do need one. Whether or not it's ok, you need to apply for one. Otherwise, how can you cross the border? However, you do have a great possibility to get rejected, due to the reasons I have already explained above.
