Internship in the US

[idebn]

Hello:

I am a Canadian citizen who worked in the US on an H1B until being laid off last year. I moved back to Canada immediately.

I am currently exploring a career in Green Finance and landed a 10 week internship/consulting gig (no pay) with a renewables start up in the US.

A couple of questions:
1. Would a B1 visa be appropriate for entry?
2. If so, what is the likely duration of the visa?

Thank you.

To get work authorization you must find a company willing to sponsor you. The companies that ask for work authorization are telling you they will not do this so their internships are only available to people who already live legally in the USA.
