But for me, I would have to then apply, have the application looked over, and then go in for an interview (the closest place to interview from where I live is ohhhh about a 7 hour drive!). If your application AND interview is approved, you can get a visa. So that's how it works here in good ol' Canada And I'm sure it wouldn't be too much different for you.
Girl can we just trade passports!! You're Canadian trying to come here, and I'm American trying to move there! I want to go to Vancouver, and really I don't need to work cause I will be supported at first, but I have to work to get this visa so I can stay there legally. What you described sounds right, but the thing is you have to get a job offer BEFORE you can get a visa, but everyone you wants to hire you wants to see your visa FIRST! It's nuts! Why can't it be easier? Like you I graduate in December and I'm sayin "goodbye" to america!!

It's just not an easy process and there's so much phoney help out there and not enough real solid info. And with it potentially taking so long...there's just a lot going on with it as I'm sure you know since you're going through it too.
Lets switch identities!
