Im from canada, can I study in the US than work there ?
Im from montreal, canada, id like to train in the states mainly because its all year round flight training.
My question is , if I get trained there like at ATP for example, can I work there after as a instructor for example ????

You most definitely can... you would have to apply for a J1 student visa, which allows you to work as an instructor right after you graduate. This would also be a great advantage for you, since you'd be able to log a significant number of hours (something like 750-800hours), compared to what you'd be able to log in Canada due to the nasty winter weather. I imagine you can do this within the first 12 months after obtaining your instructors rating.
Good Luck…

no you can't and yes you can. very hard to work in the USA for a non US citizen.
USA protect their citizen more than we do in canada, or in europe, resulting in a mass of illegal immigration across the USA.
(we can not stop people to feed themselves and their family, working is a human right even if it is against the law, but this, USA still didn't figure it yet.)
you can still work under a J1 visa, but you have to pay the visa and it is only good for 2 years.

Schools That offer J1
I wonder if anyone knows of schools that offer the J1 visa, I have been looking around and cannot find schools that do . As far as I can establish a school needs to be approved to be able to offer the J1 .
