I recently received my H1B approval and I'm currently a Canadian Permanent Resident (PR). My most recent U.S. visa was an F1, which was issued in India and expired in June 2023. I'm trying to determine if I'm eligible for the H1B Dropbox (Interview Waiver Program) in Canada.
I'm aware that the Dropbox program has specific eligibility criteria from the link below, such as the previous visa expiring within the last 48 months but assuming its typically applying in the same location where the last visa was issued.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have knowledge about this process? Can I apply for the H1B Dropbox in Canada, or do I need to return to India for this?
Thanks in advance for your insights!
