I need to get my H1 B visa stamped, is it possible for me to get it stamped in Vancuver Canada? I do not have a masters in US.

Embassy website says, only candidates with US degree or for extension can go to canada. Give them a call before making any appt.

I know for sure that you can go to Ottawa or Montreal for h4-h1. Not sure abt Vancouver . Just email them

Take Client letter.... this is a must in Ottawa

Any conversion i.e., H4 to H1, F1 to H1, L1 to H1 can attend in any consulate in Canada. Norms will be for a country rather than for a consulate particularly within one country.

NOTE: These type of conversion visa applicants cannot attend in any consulate located in Mexico irrespective of consulate in Mexico.
