Hello Aarush Sharma, How are you, How is everything in Canada?

Since you are already in your 2nd year of a Master's in Canada, moving to the USA will require careful planning. Here are some possible options dear =

1. Transfer to a U.S. University (Master’s)

- Some U.S. universities allow credit transfers from Canadian institutions.  

- Contact universities in the U.S. and check their transfer credit policies.  

- You may need to apply as a transfer student or restart your Master's with advanced standing.  

2. Apply for a New Master's Program in the USA

- If transferring isn’t an option, apply for a fresh Master's program in the USA.  

- Since you already have a Canadian education, you may have an advantage in admissions.  

- Strong GRE/GMAT scores (if required) and a good academic record can help with funding.  

3. Move to the USA After Completing Your Master's in Canada

- After completing your Master’s in Canada, you can apply for a U.S. Work Visa (H-1B) if you get a job offer.  

- You can also apply for a PhD in the USA if you're interested in research-based programs.  

- Another route is the F-1 visa for a second Master's or specialized course in the U.S.  

4. Student Visa Considerations (F-1 Visa)

- You need to get admission to a SEVP-certified university in the USA.  

- Apply for an F-1 visa by submitting the I-20 form issued by your U.S. university.  

- Show proof of financial support, including tuition fees and living costs.

Since you’re in your 2nd year of a Master's in Canada and want to move to the USA, here are some paths you can consider:  

Transfer to a US University  

  - Some US universities accept credit transfers from Canadian universities.  

  - Contact US universities offering your program and check if they allow mid-program transfers.  

  - If not, you may need to reapply from scratch for a new Master’s program.  

Apply for a New Master’s in the USA 

  - If transferring credits isn’t possible, apply for a fresh Master’s program in the US.  

  - Your Canadian degree may give you an edge in admissions.  

  - Use your existing academic credits to finish faster, if allowed.  

Study on a Student Visa (F-1 Visa)  

  - To study in the US, you need an I-20 form from a US university.  

  - Apply for an F-1 student visa at a US consulate in Canada.  

  - Show proof of financial support (loan, personal funds, or sponsor).  

Work Path: Get a US Job & Move via Work Visa (H-1B, TN, etc.)

  - If your field is in demand, you can look for remote jobs in US companies while in Canada.  

  - Apply for a work visa like H-1B (if a US employer sponsors you).  

  - TN Visa (for Canadian citizens) is an easier route if you qualify under NAFTA jobs.  

OPT/CPT Route (If You Study in the US) 

  - After completing a US degree, you get Optional Practical Training (OPT) for 1–3 years (STEM fields get 3 years).  

  - If you study in the US under an F-1 visa, you may get Curricular Practical Training (CPT), which allows part-time work.
