Hi All,
I tried searching for my question in the forum but did not see any answers.
I have been working 6 years for a company with my H1B. It will get extended again as per the lawyers and I will have a valid H1B. I will be moving to Buffalo, NY for personal reasons and will be continuing to work there. I am interested in attaining an MBA. Now since the SUNY in Buffalo is not the best college for an MBA, I was tinkering with the idea of part time MBA at Rotman in Toronto(less than 2 hours away).
Has anyone been in my situation of continuing to work for a company in the US and apply for a student visa to study across the border? How about funding? Did you get loans from a bank? what were the issues you faced.
Thanks
gabriel

1. A study permit won't be issued for a part time course.
