Below is USCIS's official sayings on the re-entry permit. From https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-131instr.pdf?download=1 1. Reentry Permit a. If you are in the United States as a lawful permanent resident or conditional permanent resident, you may apply for a Reentry...

Would you mind sharing what online tax program did you use? Is it Ufile? Thanks

Thanks for your prompt and useful reply, hfinkel. I know US has something called commuter PR (https://www.clarkhill.com/contents/commuter-green-cards.pdf?parent_id=335) for those working in USA but living in Canada/Mexico. Commuter PR time cannot be used for citizenship application...

Dear hfinkel, Thank you so much for your detailed and helpful information! Would you mind also sharing here (or privately messaging me) if your friends get US citizenship after frequent usage of re-entry permits? Here are the official requirements for US PR to become citizens...

Thanks for everyone's opinion. Really appreciated it. I think the best way to go is to get Canadian citizenship first and then get US green card. After that, I can use a US residence address, driver license, car insurance and even open a US business (like a consulting company) to satisfy the...

To my knowledge, US seems to require an intention to reside to keep PR. Here is the link http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3f443a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=3f443a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD where it says...

Here is what I found https://www.quora.com/Can-one-maintain-both-Canadian-and-US-permanent-residency-at-the-same-time Another thing that may work better is to first get Canadain citizenship and then get US green card. I could request re-schedule of interview of immigrant visa in Montreal consulate.

Good point, DEEPCUR. I got my 140 approval under EB1A that does not require a job offer. I did plan to open a consulting company in the field outlined on 140 approval notice.

Hope everyone had a wonderful 2018 and wish everyone a brilliant 2019. I currently hold Canada PR. I landed in Sep 2016 and move to USA on H1B since Sep 2017. I also received EB1 140 approval and I'll likely get my USA PR sometime in 2020. I'm currently considering a faculty position in Metro...

If you aim for Canadia citizenship, just do it in the official calculator https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/resCalcStartNew.do

I interpret it as applicants must declare all trips exiting and entering Canada. But if you commute, there are zero days of absences.

Thank you very much for your advice, DEEPCUR! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2019/visa-bulletin-for-october-2018.html Things changed dramatically this time. At the beginning of the new fiscal year, the final action date for EB1-China is June 01, 2016...

Anyone doing commute back to Stanstead QC through Interstate 91? I would like to hear about opinions on rentals, traffic volume and car-import. There seem to be very little rental options according to...

Thanks very much

1. Yes. You can visit US for a couple days for work. 2. you will pay the maximum of Canada and US taxes, not the addition of Canada and US taxes. The details depend on the Canadian provinces you live and the USA states you work.

Thank you DEEPCUR! Yes, I have EB1A i140 approved with a priority date in June 2018. I also have an NIW i140 approved which helps to advance priority date to Feb 2018, through relink. The issue is that a) recently EB1 suddenly becomes very bad in terms of waiting time. b) I choose to use...

Dear fellow forum member, I used found this thread (Reasons for rejections of PR applications https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/reasons-for-rejection.306713/) to be quite helpful and informative. I wonder is it a good idea to also create a parallel thread...

Thanks for the valuable information. I will follow the same idea but much tougher implementation ( 4.5 hr drive from Stanstead Quebec to New Haven Connecticut Mon/Thu morning, went back Tue/Fri night). Hopefully, I can get 7 fully physical presence day credits. For everyone's reference, below...

Same boat here. Work in New Haven, Connecticut on H1B. It is a tough journey. Let's connect, support and encourage each other! I am very sad about the US green card system. I spent tons of time getting my EB1A and NIW 140 approval over the past year, but just to see retrogression for...
