Veteran Posts: 116	I am going to the states for an unpaid internship as a Canadian. Do I need a visa to get across the border? Anyone else ever intern in another country and know how to go about this? Apparently its illegal to intern as a canadian if not a registered school, but I highly doubt that as people intern from other countries at barns all the time. Edited by mystiboo 2014-12-31 11:27 AM

Veteran Posts: 116	Thank you. I read the site, but can't find a visa that would really pertain to me. I will give them a call. Called the border, and they said I can't go down for an internship whatsoever. I'm hoping theres a way.. I can't understand why I wouldn't be able to.. I'm not getting paid so not taking a job away from americans

I had a friend from Iran who had to juggle around the different types until she got her green card. I bet they will know more at the office. Since it's an unpaid internship i wouldn't think it should be a huge issue.

Veteran Posts: 116	It looks like it will just be easiest to just go as a tourist. We're allowed up to 6 months for travel and visiting purposes, and since I'm not being paid, I think it will be fine. Thanks!
