Visa requirements for getting a CFI

[ashwinrao]

Hi there
I live in Canada, wondering if anyone has done this before
What kind of visa do u need if u only need to get ur CFI in the states if I'm a Canadian citizen
also what visa should I apply for after 6 months cause thats when I would like to work as an instructor in the states.
Basically I'm studying here in Canada, I have an FAA commercial multi IFR, but that was 5 years ago, now I would like to pursue this since I've only got a semester left starting Jan
so ideally, I would like to get my instructors come back to canada and apply for a work visa to work in the states as an instructor
after the middle of next year
so 2 questions
1. Do I need any specific visa to do my instructors since its only for 2 months,
2. How does it look for visa's to the states as an instructor if I'm a Canadian

any ideas??? or suggestions??
