First time H1b calgary stamping
yet another silent reader. thanks to everyones input - very helpful and reassuring.
To dispel the myth once and for all - it is possible to do first time H1b visa stamping in canada. The only caveat I guess is that majority of your education has to have been done in the US as was my case.
Currently on H1b for a couple years but hadn't travelled outside for first time stamping.
Got canadian visa in <1 month.
Border crossing was laid back. At embassy, you go through security and document check before your actual interview.
Interview for me was chill - only asked where I did my education and what I do currently.
I think I saw a girl and the guy before me got rejected though.
Said come back in 3-5 days to collect visa.

I was super stressed before because I wasn't 100% sure of first time stamping can be done in canada. But guess it can be - as long as majority of your degrees were from the US. This is just my opinion, not fact.
