캐나다 학교 학위를 수여받은 후에도 OPT 신청 및 승인이 된다는 정보를 제가 지원한 기업에서 듣고 해당 기업과 interview 등 취업 절차를 진행하던 중, 개인적으로 찾아본 OPT 신청 절차에 의문이 생겨 이렇게 상담 글을 보냅니다.
USCIS 등 관련 사이트에서 OPT를 미국의 학생비자인 F-1 비자를 받은 사람을 대상으로 소개하고 있고 ("Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 Students"), 인터넷 및 지인 등 외국인의 신분으로 캐나다의 대학및 대학원 졸업 후 OPT를 통한 미국 취업을 한 케이스를 찾을 수 없고, OPT 신청 절차에 필요한 서류 (i-20, i-94 등) 가 캐나다에서 학업중인 저는 해당되지 않는 서류인 점에 대해, 제가 OPT 신청이 가능한지에대해, 그리고 가능하다면 저에게 해당되지 않는 서류는 어떤 서류로 대체할 수 있는 지 등에대해 문의드리고 싶습니다.

안녕하세요 OPT 라는것은 미국에서 F-1 졸업생들에게만 주어지는 개념입니다. 캐나다 대학 졸업자는 다른 이름으로 되어 있을 것이고 캐나다에서만 offer 하는 것입니다.
따라서, 미국학생들에게만 offer 하는 OPT 는 캐나다 졸업자에게는 대상이 되지 않으므로, 어떤 출처가 있으면 해당기업에 보여달라고 하시기 바랍니다.
참고 바랍니다.
What is OPT? F-1 students who plan to work in the U.S. can apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), a temporary employment authorization that provides an opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to a practical work experience off-campus.
OPT is a benefit of your F-1 visa status and not a separate work visa or visa category. You continue to be in F-1 student visa status while you are on OPT and must abide by all F-1 regulations during your period of OPT. Yale remains your visa sponsor. This is the last work authorization that will not need employer sponsorship until you have a Green Card. Timing Considerations Most students are eligible to apply for a total of 12 months of OPT at each higher degree level. OPT can only be used once per higher degree level even if you have multiple degrees per level (e.g. OPT based on a Bachelor's degree and then OPT based on a Master's degree or PhD). The 12 months of OPT must be used all at once, it cannot be broken up. OPT must be used directly after graduation; it cannot be saved for later. You cannot start work until you have received your EAD card and reached the start date on the card. Eligibility To be eligible for OPT, you must:
Maintain valid F-1 student status at the time of application Be enrolled full-time for at least one full academic year in the U.S. Be physically present in the U.S. when you submit your application Intend to work or volunteer in a professional development opportunity directly related to the major field of study Additional Considerations You do not need to have a job in order to apply for OPT. All work must directly relate to your field of study. Students with degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) may be eligible for a 24-month extension to their 12 month post-completion OPT. You do not need paid employment (volunteering is ok). You can work on multiple opportunities at one time.
