Ok, there is no US Border Agency or US-CIC.
That is handle by CBP (Customs and Border Protection) and that is managed by the US Department of Homeland Security.
When you fly into the US from most Canadian Airports, you will clear US Customs and Immigration at the Canadian airport. That little piece of land within the airport is considered US Soil and the US boarding area is a US pre-clearance area. At that point Customs and Immigration have been cleared.
So any visas, permits or authorizations, will be deal with at the airport by the CBP officer. If you have any questions in regards to the procedure, you should contact the US Embassy in your region.
