  • Travelling Canada on OPT

    Hey Hi all, I am planning to travel canada from this January 2015 - Feb 8th 2015. I have completed my masters on may 2015. My OPT start date was from june 15th, i got placed immediately and i started my new project on June 29th, 2015. It's being like 6months from then am working. My project is about to end by december end. So i want to travel canada for a month. Is it highly risky for me to travel at this point of time. I have few questions on this and would really appreciate the answers.

    I have my valid F-1 visa, EAD card valid until June 2016, Emploer letter, Paystubs till December. I-20 signed with travel period of 6 months.

    1) Can i go canada ., and while returning back can i tell immigration that am still on my project, and for proof i can show them my pay stubs. Stating that am on job now but was working remotely for this month. Will this Work Fine?

    2) Or shall i tell them that ., i finished my 1st project and now am travelling back for a new job position. And my start date is from Feb 10th,2015?

    3) If case-2, shall i carry any extra documentation from my consultancy people ? or else i have a full time letter issued by my consultancy at the beginning., so is that fine?

    Please help Me,., And thank you

        It should be ok. Have all your documents and just say you are actively working on the same project, if asked.

              As long as you have a valid visa and an i20 with travel signature you should be fine

                I had a similar situation when I travelled canada on OPT. While entering canada on road from Newyork, border security authorities stopped me and asked me all the documents i20, visa, opt card, pay stubs. I handed them everything but on our opt-card there will be like"not valid to enter us". They pointed out that and questioned me that I may face problem while coming back, but I explained how immigration works here in USA. So after 2hours of their process they allowed me to enter Canada. While returning I haven't faced any issues.

                  Tell them that you are still working and also carry employer letter.
