Can I get a source on this?

I was hoping for more anecdotes.

Damn, this thread went off rails. 7 pages and only two data points.

Welcome back david1697!

While it is true that the US offers better economic opportunities, comparing green card holders and Canadian PRs is not quite comparing apples to apples. Unlike Canada, you cannot self-sponsor (for the most part) for an employment-based green card. There is no points system. You have to have...

Another data point for you: Border crossing: Peace Bridge (Niagara Falls) Date: 12/25/2018 By this time, I had already gotten my US green card. I landed in May 2015 and had only spent 3 weeks in Canada on two separate trips. I still had an unexpired Candian PR card so I presented it to the...

What if he were a US citizen? I don't think there is an ETA requirement for US citizens. Edit: This will probably be me in a few years. In fact, I'll have to renounce my current citizenship.

On the Teh case, I'm surprised that PR was previously granted/reinstated on H&C grounds on the basis of his acceptance to a graduate studies program in Canada. Side question: Say you are reported upon entry. What is the timeline from being reported to the appeal decision?

Are the children Canadian citizens? If yes, would the answer to this question be different? Obviously, she wouldn't be eligible for benefits, but what about the children?

Out of curiosity, say you're working those 4-5 years and then get denied. Can you use those 4-5 years of work experience as Canadian Work Experience to add points to your Express Entry profile?

Hi all, This is my situation. I landed 05/2015. I still have a PR card valid until 03/2021. I know I haven't met my residency obligation, so I might be reported if I tried to come back (although I do have a green card and would not need an ETA and live close enough to the border). Looking...

FYI for another data point: My green card is pending, but I was previously on H-1B. I applied via the QSW route, and got Canadian PR. I have until May 2018 to see if I want to make the US or Canada my permanent home.

I think he's correct. I've been a Canadian PR since May 2015. I stopped being able to see my status since February 2016. I hypothesize that after 6 months, your case gets taken out of the database.

My reason. I should get my green card in a few months. However, it's still nice to have options in the unlikely case I get a good opportunity in Canada.

I just showed them a statement from a brokerage account.

Hi all, I have a hypothetical scenario. Say I'm living in Windsor and working Detroit, would I be able to sponsor a spouse? I know that when you are applying to sponsor someone you should not leave Canada other than perhaps short vacations. If you are working in Detroit, you are leaving the...

I'll receive my green card in two to three months, so I've actually looked into this issue. I also currently have a Canadian PR. In my case, I'd have to switch my green card to commuter status once I receive it if I wanted to do what you're doing. I would like to maintain both PRs, but it's...

Hi all, I landed and became a PR in Canada in May of last year. I recently married a US PR holder, and I'm set to become a US PR myself in a few months. I am currently working in the US. Let's say my wife and I decided Canada might be a better option in the future. Can I re-apply for a...

That makes the question a little tougher. I timed mine such that I would get my US green card within 3 years of receiving Canadian PR. Do you have a job lined up in Canada?

Do you already have a Canadian PR?
