I highly doubt it. Japan is one of the few countries in the world that does not use GSM, Unfortunately, the only CDMA carriers here in the USA, Verizon and Sprint, will NOT activate your phone. They have a list of acceptable phones, and if you dont have one of their models, purchased from the respective stores or dealers or vendors of their companies, you will not be able to use your phone on their networks. Of course, you can always hack a solution, but I don't recommend this route. BTW...most asian countries except Japan (though Japan does have I believe one GSM carrier) all use the GSM standards on the 900/1800/1900mhz frequencies, meaning that virtually any phone operating on at least the 1900mhz frequency will work in the USA. It just has to be unlocked, and luckily, most phone purchased overseas are unlocked because they are typically bought at full price and not that $39.99 sale price w/ two year contract (rediculous for a $150 phone), like they do in the USA.

Tell him to apply for a Student Visa, if he doesn't have one already. If he already has one, tell him to apply for a B1 Visa.
2 :
He cannot legally work in the US. It would appear that he cannot even legally be in the US. If he is not legally present, then it is crucial that he leave the US before he turns 18! If his parents brought him here illegally, then if he goes home before he turns 18, his parents' illegal acts will not be held against him. In time he could apply for a student visa, or if he wants to work in the US, after he gets a college degree & experience, he could qualify for an employment visa if he found a job with an employer willing and able to apply for the employment visa for him. If he is on a dependent visa under a parent who is here temporarily for employment or something, he cannot get authorization to work. Minor children on dependent visas cannot get permission. But if he were here on a dependent visa, he should have SSN or tax ID for his parents to file their tax returns, although his Social Security card would be stamped "not valid for employment." If he is here illegally, do NOT do anything to help him as you would be violating the law and subject to a long prison term and $250,000 fine. Tell him to go home in a hurry if he ever wants any chance to return to the US legally.

Yes, but your choices are limited. You could like in St. Catharines or Niagara Falls, Ontario, and work in Buffalo. You could live in Windsor, Ontario and work in/near Detroit. There are hundreds or thousands of people who do this. Living in Canada obviously requires becomming a resident or citizen. In the 1990's there was a speedpass to allow cross-border commuters (students/workers) to cross the border faster -- that may be gone now. The 5th Protocol to the Canada-U.S. tax convention has some benefits for people in the situation you're planning. Good luck. Unless you live in the northern U.S., I'd recommend visting the towns I mentioned above in winter to be sure you can handle it. It can be cold. The hot period is short (late June to September) and November and April can be very cold also. St. Catharines and Windsor are not considered the nicest cities in Canada. they're fine, but if you like small towns, try Niagara on the Lake, or some of the small towns like Leamington near Windsor. Good luck.

You can't reside in Canada on a permanent basis unless you are a Canadian citizen or you have been given immigration permission to live in Canada - either permanently by being issued an immigrant visa, or temporarily by being granted permission to work or attend school in Canada. This applies even if you plan on crossing the border back into the US, each day, in order to work. If Canada notices that you are returning there each evening, they will know that you are residing there without permission.

Varun, I have answered your question earlier but I forgot to mention something. Most Canadian universities offer a programme called Co operative (Co-op) which allows you to work for a number of semesters during your programme in order to enrich your academic experience with sound professional knowlege. An additional benefit of this is that you earn good income during your work terms which helps a long way in taking care of your expenses. However this option extends your graduation period a little.
