Want to live in Canada for a school year

[marccc]

Hi
I have US green card. I go to college in the US. My girlfriend is in Canada. I am planning to take 1 yr online courses next year, so I can live with her. So I will be in Canada from mid May 2011 to mid May 2012. I can come back to US at any point in that time period. However, only for a short period of time. Will I have any trouble returning to the US? and I am driving to Canada and back.

Thank you

You can't "move" to Canada for a year. However hopefully you'll be able to visit for some period of time.

To determine what it will take to come for a visit, you should first determine if you need a visit visa to enter Canada. A US green card alone isn't sufficient to visit. What passport do you hold? You'll need to determine if you're from a visa exempt or non-visa exempt country. This will tell you if you need to apply for a visa or can come to Canada for a visit without one.

Hello
I have a Chinese passport
I have visited her multiple times for the past year. Adding together is probably 2 month, the longest stay was winter break which was 1 month. I never had any problems at the boarder.
