When you think of the illegal immigrant, you usually think of the poor latin uneducated guy who toils away in the farm fields for pennies. Well, todays illegal immigrants take on all shapes and forms. They can be children in schools, students, even educated people.
What is the status of most immigrants to canada and the U.S? Immigration proceedures take much longer in the United states than they do in canada, but the process is much the same. A visa application needs to be made in both countries if you want to be a student. This type of visa is called a student visa. and you generally need to apply for it about 3 to six months prior to going to the school.
There are also other types of visas available. there is the work permit which is much easier to get in canada than in the U.S. The company that you are going to work for you must sponsor you, and apparently there are more canadian companies that are willing to sponsor than there are american. To americans it just seems like a lot of paper work, thats why the imigration status of most of their foreign workers is illegal. People who want to work in north america truly have a better chance of fixing their immigration status in Canada than in the U.S.A. and thereby getting their permanent resident status.
