I got my green card from US last year. Prior to that I was working in the USA but was working from my home office is Canada. I have Canada PR card.

I cross borders every week. Is it possible to get NEXUS card maintaining both status?

Sure but it will come to the attention of both CIC/CBP that you hold GC/Canadian PR...it may be an issue with CBP as the residence requirement to maintain GC status is much more strict than Canadian PR in which you just need to maintain the Residence Obligation of 730 days in each 5 year rolling period.

Yes you are right. I think I am going to give up PR in Canada soon.
