Moving from canada to the us for 3 months- how?

i have a friend who currently lives in canada he is looking to go to college in the us but wants to come first to look at schools, look at the job market, and look at apts. he was told a visa for 3 months would take 3 yrs for him to get. does anyone know how long it takes to get a temp visa, how much it costs and what exactly he needs to do to go about it? this is for a 3 month visit only for him to check out the arae before deciding to move. thanks for any help

Answer:
he got it wrong. he can visit now without a visa for 3 months but there is a new passport rule. he needs one to enter the usa.

i run a site now on yahoo that has info on this.

it is far easier to come her to study then there.

go to www.travel.state.gov to learn more.
I'm not sure he needs one if it is 90 days or less. So long as he doesn't work.

Check out the state department.
You can also use the internet to check out schools. It's hassle free.
if he is just looking and not working then i would say he is ok just to go a look, enjoy your visit..
