Just arrived in new york, USA, with b2 visa. I want to go to Canada for a few days, and it is rare to come out once. What should I do with it? Is there a Canadian consulate in new york?

Before you apply for a third-country visa in the United States, you must provide your legal status in the United States, such as a class F non-immigrant visa to study in the United States. I-20 is your guarantee for legal residence in the United States. A US visa only takes 12 months, during which you can enter and leave the United States twice. After that, the visa will expire, but you can still stay in the United States because your I-20 date has not expired. Even if the American visa expires, you can still go to Canada, Mexico and Caribbean countries (except Cuba) from the United States without returning the American visa. But if you want to go to Europe or other countries at this time, you need a visa to return to the United States. Due to the new regulations in April 2002, if you get a visa to a third country (Canada and Mexico), you must go back to your country and get a new visa. This brings inconvenience to all international students. It seems that every time you leave the United States, you have to go back to China to apply for a visa, or risk being sent back to China to apply for a visa in a third country.

Most countries require China people to obtain visas before entering the country, and they usually need at least one week. Actually, applying for a visa is quite simple. Most of the applications are tourist visas. You can apply in person at the embassy or send it to the application office. Fees range from $20 to 120. Many countries have consulates in new york, so it is convenient to get visas.

1, Canada, Canada's tourist visa is relatively easy to handle in the United States. You don't need a valid American visa, just a valid I-20. There are two kinds of tourist visas in Canada, one-way and multiple-way. Although the name of a single round trip sounds like you can only enter the country once, in fact, if you only enter the country from the United States, you can use it multiple times within the validity period of the visa and within 6 months of your first entry. However, the general people at the border inspection are also in a fog, so you should explain it clearly to him. Multiple entry is valid for one year and can be entered from any country. You can go to new york to do it, and you can do it in a single day. China passport holders should undergo multiple round-trip inspections.

2, Britain, Britain is a very popular country, London airport is designed as a transit point, and it is almost necessary to go to Europe. However, there is a rule in Britain that a visa is sometimes required for a transfer, so it is generally used to transfer in Britain by taking the opportunity of transferring in London. It's easy to get a British tourist visa. As long as all the materials are prepared, you can go to new york in one day. (Note, the latest regulation in February 2004: You can only apply for a visa directly at the British Consulate within 5 days before departure, and you can mail the application after 5 days. In addition, in March, it was otherwise stipulated that any entry application would not be accepted and an appointment must be made in advance. )。

3, Schengen visa, according to the Schengen agreement, as long as you get a tourist visa from any of the following countries, you can go to other Schengen countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden.

4. Australian visa, you need to provide proof of studying in the United States, the purpose of going to Australia, and proof that you can bear the expenses of this trip. If it is only a few weeks, you can provide a bank statement of more than 65,438+100,000. Not too much, just let them know that you can afford it. The pass rate of applying for a 676 visa in the United States is very high.
