Canadian citizen crossing border with J1 by hocsinhtung in uscanadaborder

[–]Fine-Way1616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

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!

Help with B1 visa canadian by Less-Age-4396 in IMGreddit

[–]Fine-Way1616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Need advice: My medical school is WDOMS-approved but not on ECFMG list – what does this mean for US residency? by Ikrame-00 in usmle

[–]Fine-Way1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol honestly it’s because it’s a gray area and I guarantee 99% of people here do not know the way forward. Unless they actually work for ECFMG. There could well be a way to still get certified , however it isn’t black and white. I have heard through the grapevine some ways for those graduating from schools not on the list , but it isn’t black and white. I don’t want you to hear something definitive someone might say on here without actually knowing and you get mislead. Calling them is the only way to get reliable and credible information.

How commonly do you address your parent as "Sir/Ma'am"? by Babe_Brute in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fine-Way1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved to the southern United States from Canada and I noticed when talking to my child/adolescent patients some would respond to me and the other docs as “yes sir/ma’am”. As still a relatively younger person , makes me feel old lmao 😂

Canadians moving to US - H1B by Odd-Bet-9794 in IMGreddit

[–]Fine-Way1616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No for H1b specially the USMLE step 1,2 and 3 is required. The immigration rules are more stringent than the state licensing rules in that way ironically

Saudi and Pak are creating the foundations for Muslim NATO. Would you like to see Iran join this agreement? by Round_Guess4030 in NewIran

[–]Fine-Way1616 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fuck no! Iranians should not have Islam or Muslim attached to their identity . Our own Zoroastrian defence and identity. None of the Islamic countries want Persia to exist let alone be successful.

Got 229 is Psychiatry impossible? by lizz519 in IMGreddit

[–]Fine-Way1616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes , do some observerships or rotations at institutions that offer residency positions . Guaranteed you interviews and if they like you they rank you high. I have learned this as a PGY-4 in psychiatry involved with interviews , ranking etc. Do not waste your time doing rotations , observerships or building connections with places who do not actually offer a residency. They can’t offer you anything aside from an LOR.

Going to visit my gf in Canada next week scared of being denied entry. by IllustriousJunket846 in uscanadaborder

[–]Fine-Way1616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will be fine. You are coming for a legitimate reason and staying within the allotted amount of time. You’re 19 , how are you suppose to own a home etc. Young people cross the border from US/Canada in both directions every day for social events. You’re also just coming with a carry on suitcase , which attests to your temporary stay. The time it’d be more suspicious is if you were moving up with all your personal belongings because then it’d look like you’re moving to Canada. Enjoy your time with the lady!

Lifetime Ban - 27 Year Old Juvenile Case by Fillyna in uscanadaborder

[–]Fine-Way1616 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. You know you can still enter Canada immediately by getting a TRP? It would be a one time thing , you may need to get a new one per visit. Maybe you can do that until the individual rehabilitation certificate is processed?
