20日凌晨12：01从TORONTO出发，想多睡点觉，但也没睡好。早晨6：00左右到达灰狗（GREYHOUND）车站，洗脸，刷牙。我约的是早晨9：00，觉得还早，就在车站坐了一会儿。然后拿出地图，按图寻找使馆。这是我第一次来OTTAWA，本来想在TORONTO签，但人太多了，约不上，只好费银子，费时间，费力地跑到OTTAWA来签，不过还算不虚此行，OTTAWA的WELLINGTON街上的国会山等欧式建筑真是不错，OTTAWA城市不大，但我觉得比TORONTO好一些。

大约7点多到了使馆附近，探清了路，在使馆附近坐了一会儿，再看一遍材料。还早，又在周围转了转，8:45左右回到了使馆前面，已经有些人在排队，赶紧排在后面。9：00开始放人，轮到我时，门卫说我的包太大了（我拿了不少材料，我的包是个手提袋，我以为可以带进去的），并告诉我使馆向南有个mall，Rideau Center,(我记得有个网友说向北，那是不对的) 那里有存包的service。我赶紧把材料拿出来，跑到那儿一阵找放下包，在3楼的customer service centre,大约9:30回到签证处。继续排队，就在门口等待，每次进两个人。进去后过安检，要抽腰带，解下手表，拿出硬币、笔等。然后向左到头就是签证室，交签证费（美元$100），I20，护照，DS156，157，158表，然后就在那儿等着叫号，感觉大部分是印巴人和类似中国人面孔的。签证官一共三个，两个男的，一个女的。感觉形势也不象大家说的那么好，也有不少剧的，不过感觉签F1的不多。

等啊等，等到快没几个人了，中间还打了几个盹，没睡好太困了。大概11点多，终于轮到我了，签证官是1号窗口的中年男子，我上。
V: Good morning, sir.
M: Good morning. How are you?
V: (no response) 按手印，先左手，后右手。
So, you’ve been here for one year.
M: yes, more than one year.
V: what are you doing now?
M: I’m not working now. I keep looking for a professional job in the past year, but I can’t find it. So, this year I applied 4 universities in the USA and 2 universities in Canada. 3 of 4 American universities give me offers, and the other one gives me admission. However, 1 of 2 Canadian universities rejected me. It’s xxx University. And I haven’t received any news about my application from the other one. It’s xxx university. Would you like to see my other offer/admission/rejection letters?
V：yes. (I showed letters to him)
You have excellent background and working experience, and received so many offers from American universities. Xxx university (我要去的学校) is very famous also. Why these two Canadian universities didn’t give you offers?
我要去的学校在工程领域非常好，排名非常靠前。
M：I don’t know. They always have their reasons.
V: Visa applicants must prove that they will go somewhere other than the USA after graduation. You’ve been in Canada for only a short time. So, you’ll go back to China after graduation?
M: No, I will come back to Canada.
V: Why?
M: there are 3 reasons why I will return to Canada.
First, I like this country. This is the reason why I immigrated to Canada.
Secondly, my wife and my daughter will keep staying here when I pursue my PhD in the USA. My wife has a good job in xxx Group (a famous bank in Canada).
V: please show me the documents.
I showed the copies of my wife’s and my daughter’s permanent resident cards and passports, my wife’s employment certificate, and the introduction of the bank.
Wait. Consular officer read the documents carefully.
M: Thirdly, Canada has good xxx engineering industry. Like xxx company, it is very famous for its xxx engineering worldwide.
V: I know this company is very famous. You can work here first.
M: I need a PhD education to push up my career. Without a degree from North America, it’s not easy to find a professional job here in Canada. However, with a PhD from a famous American university, it will be quite different.
V: I see. Please have a seat and wait a few minutes.
M: No problem.
这个签证官一直在拿我做例子指导旁边的一个新手怎么interview.
A few minutes later, consular officer let me go to window 1.
V: I have good news and bad news to tell you.
M: What are they?
M: good news is that I’m convinced by you. I decide to issue you the visa. Bad news is that because you will study xxx engineering. We’ll check you. You will be checked anywhere you apply the visa in the embassy of the USA in the world if you stud yxxx engineering.
我来之前就知道肯定被check，我的专业太敏感了，属于绝对要check的那种。不过还是跟签证官解释了一下，没有用。告诉我需要一个月左右。然后告诉我两个选择：
1、 clear后使馆通知，然后拿护照来取签证；
2、留下护照，clear后，使馆把护照和签证一块寄给我。
我一想，TORONTO离OTTAWA需要5-6个小时的路程，如果自取还要花100加元左右的银子，就选择了让使馆寄。按使馆的要求去买了预付款特快专递信封交给使馆，并找签证官要自己的I20，签证官说check时要用，到时会一块儿寄还给我。然后就回来等消息了。

非常感谢我爱人的支持与鼓励，没有这些我不会走到这一步的。感谢我的小女儿，她给了我无尽的欢乐。也感谢家人和朋友的帮助。经常上寄托，也在这里得到许多信息和朋友的帮助，非常感谢。以前经常潜水，现在就把这篇文章作为对寄托的回报。希望能早日clear。

26Fall祈福求offer，包灵验！
