Your US employer can transfer you for a temporary assignment (with USCIS permission N-470) so you will keep your residency and eventually apply for citizenship.
so in what stage of my processing do you think I can ask our HR about co. transfer w/ temporary visa?!? in medical stage?!?

thanks!

Well since you can do both, I would suggest to do it the earliest possible time so you know what your options are and having a PR application will give you an advantage when you apply for the transfer.

God Bless!

p.s. goodluck on the transfer!!

I assume your GC is in progress and you haven’t reached I-485 stage, if that is the case then you are fine with intercompany transfer. Check with your Total rewards / HR department for specific details.

My friend who worked in (IBM) Canada for few months was on H1b and his GC was in-progress (Initial stage), he also had Canadian PR which facilitated the transition. Hope this explains.

PS: If i can recall correctly, after 2nd renewal you have 2 years to sort your next step.
