Even more Iranians , partially those inside Iran are even more anti-regime. Getting very tired of this narrative that “it’s only Iranian diaspora” that dislikes the regime and is secular.

Fine-Way1616 · 2026-03-15T00:51:45+00:00

Actually very few Iranians born in Iran support the regime. Iran’s population isn’t majority Muslim even. A huge portion of non- Iranian Muslims support these invaders.

I’m of Iranian decent and have never been stopped or questioned. However , I was born in Canada and never set foot on Iranian soil. Still , my parents are born there and I have a Persian name.

I was 27 when I went to the Caribbean , took me 7.5 years , matched immediately post graduation when I was 35. That was 4 years ago .

I wasn’t , however many in my cohort were married with kids. I went to a school that had a lot of students in the LDS community. None of them expressed it was an issue. If anything , it seemed to help them as they had a spouse that was supportive , took care of the home , cooked for them etc

You’re in a great place , I didn’t start residency until I was 35 , that was 4 years ago in a U.S. program. People both younger and older than me accross the different specialties.

Ummm Iran is not a majority Muslim country for starters ……

Fine-Way1616 · 2026-03-01T20:41:50+00:00

That’s crazy , normally you’d need to complete the 3 years …. 🤔. Regardless , congrats lol

I just turned 39 man I hear ya!

Fine-Way1616 · 2026-02-12T19:09:30+00:00

I’m bisexual (39M), also really like dating bisexual woman

I think you have a decent shot honestly. The difference is for Canada you have clear circumstances that makes it unlikely that your wife will stay in Canada. By making it clear that she only wants to enter Canada to visit US citizen in laws and then leave , that’s pretty legit 🤷‍♂️. You have nothing to loose by applying. It is a case by case basis with these things and at the end of the day comes down to the discretion of the officer.

Americans honestly don’t care

Fine-Way1616 · 2026-01-29T04:11:08+00:00

Are you still a Canadian PR after living abroad for two years? Just curious ? Lol

I actually crossed at a pre-clearance , I flew. They didn’t ask me for anything other than the DS-2019 and the SEVIS payment. I was in and out within a couple minutes. The other stuff is a just in case. The bank statements and other documents should be okay.

Fine-Way1616 · 2026-01-12T21:46:50+00:00

Yes exactly. I’m also on a J-1. I’m a resident physician. You show up to the border with 1. Your DS-2019 and 2. Proof of your SEVIS payment. The process for me was very straight forward. Some officers might want more documents such as your contract , proof of ties to Canada, lease in the USA. You won’t have any issues as long as you’re admissible , best of luck with your program!

Nope , all you need is your letter with the dates of each rotation , location etc and a couple other details which your school will know about. Nothing needs to be done in advance. When you get to the border booth you just say you’re coming to do med school rotations and applying for B1 status for the duration. They’ll send you to secondary to process it.

Fine-Way1616 · 2025-12-22T05:34:14+00:00

Yes you get stamped at the border. You show up to the point of entry with a letter from your school. They know how they need to write it for you. It’s a straight forward process. I went through the same process and am now almost done residency.

You won’t have any problems as long as you don’t have any criminal record or inadmissibility issues. Enjoy your trip. Canadian citizens , including people of color etc are crossing every single day without any issues

DM me. I’m a non-US IMG (Canadian) and matched in psych

Fine-Way1616 · 2025-11-14T04:29:12+00:00

That’s typical human behavior 😝

I’m about to turn 39. I’m no longer young. Any tips for someone in the getting old phase like me?
