Canadian Students

Canadian citizens are exempt from applying for an F-1 visa.  However, in order to be admitted as an F-1, you must present a valid Detroit Mercy I-20 at the U.S. Port of Entry (noted on the paper I-94).  ISO will need to make a copy of your most recent I-94 for your immigration file and provide a travel signature (on page two of I-20) to support re-entry to the U.S.

Fourth Year and Master Level Students (full-time): ISO will issue you an I-20 for the duration of your program. A new bank statement may be required if the one on file is more than six months old.
