An I-20 Certificate of Eligibility is needed in order to apply for a student visa at a US Consulate. Canadians do not need to apply for a visa, but do need the I-20 to enter the US in student status.

To obtain an I-20:

First apply to the school (either online or by mailing an application. There is $150 International Student application fee.  After you are admitted we will then contact you to get the information needed to create the I-20.

You will need to provide evidence that you have the funds available to pay for the entire cost of your tuition and living expenses.

An interview at a US Embassy or Consulate is required to apply for a visa. It can take from a few days to a few months to get an interview, please contact the US Embassy in your country to determine how long it takes to get an interview and be granted a visa.

If you are currently in the US as a student on an M-1 or F-1 visa you can transfer your I-20  to NYFA.   Please contact the International Office for more information.
