The Canadian Tamil Congress hosts Seminar on United States

Yesterday, United States Consulate officials presented an information seminar on living, studying and working in the United States. Hosted by the Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC) for the Tamil Canadian community, the event was the first of its kind and proved very valuable for all present.

Speaking to a full house at the Markham Convention Centre, four officials from the Political-Economic, Non-immigrant Visa Section, and Public Affairs departments of the United States Consulate General were present. The officials spoke on three major topics of interest to Tamil Canadians: Educational Opportunities in the United States, Investing in the United States, and the different Visas involved when travelling to the United States.

A question and answer period followed each presentation allowing attendees to pose their specific questions to the officers. At the end of the session consulate officials were on hand to interact with individual members of the crowd. “I am happy CTC had the foresight and stature to organize such an event for our community. I was able to speak directly to the consulate officials and have my questions about travel and investment options to the USA answered,” said attendee, Dilshan Navaratnarajah.

The officers left pamphlets on topics covered and contact information with CTC if anyone wishes to ask a specific question or obtain further information on the topics covered, please email us at info@canadiantamilcongress.ca
