Student Visa, Oops I dropped out...

[aimee elise 1]

I'm American, and I have a student visa with McGill that expires late 2013. Problem is, I've recently dropped out. I assume that means the visa is void, but I just want to double check. Is there a time limit where I have to be gone? Or can I say until 2013 anyway?

Thanks!

You are in America, you are not American. You dropped out, school will report your status to DHS and you are necessarily out of status now. There is no grace period (60days) for quitting school.

The OP is an American with a student visa in Canada.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure my American passport means I'm American.

I guess I should have specified, McGill is in Canada.

OP< this is a site focused on US immigration, but the Canadian members in this forum may be able to help.

You should check to see if the process in Canada is the same as the US(where the university reports change of enrollment to immigration authorities). If it were here, the student visa would be void.

Well obviously you can't stay until 2013 on a student visa when you are NOT a student. That's clear

Since you dropped out, the Canadian university has reported your absence. Since you left the US your departure has already been recorded.

Have you contected the international officer at your school in McGill? That would be the quickest and easiest way to determine your current status. But I'm going to assume you don't have any

Good luck

You dropped out of McGill?

McGill is like Canada's harvard!
