Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>What are my chances if:
a) I get an MBA or Law degree from McGill or UBC?
b) If I get an MBA or Law degree from a top notch US school?</p>

<p>In scenario a: basically impossible unless you get a job in the U.S. with a sponsoring employer, apply successfully for the H1-B (which is a lottery), and stick around long enough to become eligible for permanent residency.</p>

<p>Same goes for scenario b with the exception that you will have a work permit on your student visa and thus will be able to prove yourself to employers who can sponsor a H1-B visa application.</p>

<p>Canadians can’t apply for the DV lottery, which is another route through which people get visas.</p>

<p>Your best bet would be to marry a U.S. citizen…</p>

<p>If you’ve got money, another option is investment-based immigration.</p>
