Do I need visa to visit Canada I am a foreign exchange student from republic of Georgia and I have J 3 visa. now I live in Connecticut
Yes, you will need a visa to enter Canada. your status as a student visa holder in the U.S. makes no difference in this. You may go to the site below to see that Georgia is on the list of countries whose citizens need visas to visit Canada.See 2nd site to apply for a visa.
But I need more facts. I am a 15 year old Sophomore from Connecticut. I want to know...is anyone out there from Australia or have you visited there before? What's it like? Are people friendly...is the language weird? What is the typical meal in Australia? And most importantly where should I hope to be living?
Oh also keep in mind that I love the performing arts, what state/city has the most available for that type of thing?
I live in Australia (I was born here to immigrant parents which is very common)
What's it like? Depends where you are. Queensland is great. Central coast of Queensland is the closest you can get to heaven. Rainforests, Beaches, Great Barrier Reef, Islands, the people are amazingly friendly, the weather is divine.
Southeast Queensland is still ok, Toowoomba is probably the worst city in Queensland. You really do not want to live in Toowoomba :)
The further north you go the more laid back and relaxed it is. The further north you go, the slower people talk :) By the time you get to Townsville, they talk real slow like ;)
Sydney is busy, its filthy and it stinks. The people are rude. That's what happens when you live in a big city.
And in regards to what someone above has said - Australia is NOTHING like America.
Australia is the most multicultural country in the world. We don't have anything that's typical when it comes to food. The most well-known Australian dish is probably the meat pie.
The further west you head, the stronger the accent. We speak english, but have some fairly odd slang words. In reality, no-one speaks like Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin. No-one I know says g'day mate, or crikey.

Hello I'm going to go on a six-month exchange in the state of Connecticut next year. I was told on that as I will be on a student visa I will be unable to purchase a gun. However, could I join a gun club and rent one for use at their range? I just want to shoot recreationally.
Thanks for the answers.... Where I come from civilians can't own guns, period. No I'm not going to go postal, people. I just want to have some fun at the range. Do you need a permit for target shooting? That's all I need.
I live in Connecticut, but i do not know how much this pertains to my answer. I have about 150 GBP and 200 euros from past trips and i want to obtain US dollars for them. Can you just go to Bank of America and do it there, or a place like that? I assume i could wait until the next time i travel and exchange it at an airport, but are there any other locations where one may be able to exchange foreign GBP and Euros into dollars?
I know a bank named EverBank that handles all kinds of transactions like this. It's headquartered in Jacksonville, FL. They allow you to open an account online, manage your entire account online as well as deposit funds at "deposit-taking ATM" machines that are scattered across the US.
I know that putting your trust in an online banking system may leave you skeptical, but EverBank has an excellent reputation winning many awards from Forbes, etc. and has upwards of 3.6 Billion dollars in assets. You can search for a deposit taking ATM that is near you. In your case, I found 5 that are located in CT.

Lastly, I am not affiliated with this bank, but I trade currencies and found this information on a forex knowledgebase/trading site and opened an account with them. Hope this helps!
Foreign Exchange Students Adjust to Staples, America | Inklings ...
Cant is a societal connect, the point of departure of most communication, between reading, criticism and speaking. Without being accomplished to comfortably converse the lingo that is oral around you, person, anticipated, is very special.
This is what four Staples foreign exchange students, Krittee “Narn” Chaisawat, from Thailand, Leonie Sürth, from Germany, Anna Lusia “Lulu” Santana, from Brazil, and Roman Smolyar, from Ukraine, have lettered in these first few weeks of approach, as their power to converse in English is promptly improving.
“Speaking English all the but, it’s unprejudiced a uncommonly big metamorphosis,” Santana said.
Information and immersing themselves in another argot is so mighty to these students that it is, in to be sure, much of the on account of why they desired to roll in to America. Along with coming to “competition people,” Smolyar said that he came to “become smooth in English.”
Sürth also said her grounds in coming was to “repair her communication skills.”
But, as these students expected, this modify does mean many challenges. When asked about whether it is impervious for him to talk to people and acquire friends when he is not agreeable speaking English, Chaisawat said that it was contrary.
He also said that it’s “very persistently” approaching a grouping of people speaking deny oneself and casual English, and tough to participate in the colloquy.
In the students’ classes it is no easier. Although Chaisawat says that his translator helps, he said that it is critical scholarship many of the subjects that are taught in English. Smolyar said that reading in English is the hardest for him.
Also, something that many indubitably do not over is the levy the uninterrupted translating and attempting to accept takes on the students. Dissecting every clause, every rap requires a elephantine amount of pinpoint, something that they absotively-posolutely were not reach-me-down to in their local mountains. Not having to sweat bullets about being settled is a enjoyment that most people don’t commemorate to treasure.
