L1 to H1 Stamping - Canada?

[rahulreddym]

I came to US on L1 and converted to H1 4 years back.

I am planning to go to India.

But before that i want to go to Toronto and get stamped.

*Consular officers in Canada will likely refuse to issue a visa to first-time student or work visa applicants if their education and/or work experience is solely or predominantly from a country other than the United States or Canada.*

Is this applicable for L1 to H1 also?

(My education is from India, but i have been working in US for 6 years now)

Please advice.

Can someone please advice.

It depends. Apply in Canada. If denied go to your home country from there and come back with the visa. Of course it may be approved based on your circumstances.
