Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. The link you provided is quite useful and I will be revisiting it often. I am already in contact with the school, asking questions and getting clarifications. What you stated about travel to the US is surely another concern. I intend to work on getting approval to enter legally for training and flying purposes. However, I also plan to keep my options open. If by the end of the program, I still haven't gotten that part sorted out, I would have my eyes on other areas where I could work legally.
