<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21763/20130408/will-the-us-follow-canada-apos-s-entrepreneur-visa-lead</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 8, 2013) Canada is aiming to woo bright young entrepreneurs with a startup visa program. The scheme offers immediate permanent residence to foreign nationals who are able to secure business funding from Canadian investors. But, there are mixed feelings in the US about the benefits of following suit.Introduced on April 1, the pilot program will have an initial annual allotment of almost 3,000 visas for entrepreneurs who secure at least $200,000 from Canadian venture capital funds or $75,000 from a private investor.

<title>Immigration bureaucracy lands legal residents in detention</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 17, 2010) One wrinkle in the immigration picture has been particularly difficult for foreign students and professionals working in the U.S.  There are two agencies within Homeland Security that handle visas.  The one that issues them is U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.  It says a foreign national may reapply or change a visa status “in a timely manner” before its expiration date.  The visa itself may take weeks or months to process.  The U.S. Border Patrol however, only looks at the expiration date.If a person’s visa has expired, that person is subject to detention.  Immigration lawyer Hilary Fraser of Ithaca has defended clients caught between these two interpretations of the law.  She told David Sommerstein one was a Filipino national living in Watertown.

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 11, 2001) In the next two weeks, the north country&apos;s colleges and universities will empty out as students head home for the winter break. For international students, the holiday offers a rare chance to visit with family in their home countries.  But this year,  many foreign students are afraid to make the trip.  As Brian Mann reports, they fear that US immigration officials won&apos;t let them back into the country.
