Living in canada and work in USA
Hello,
I am not sure how this works but have heard that people have a PR Status in canada, live there and work in USA in order to maintain status in both the countries.
Can someone give me some details on how this works? Are there any issues to travel to & from the border? Any changes in the rules etc.
Thanks in Advance.

The only place that would probably be common is Detroit where people live in Windsor. As far as I know you only need to get a commuter pass and pay the $8 a day to cross the bridge. |

Well, if you have US citizenship you have the right to enter and work in the US, and if you have PR status in Canada you also have the right to enter and/or work in Canada.
There shouldn't be any border issues other than the usual dealing with customs. Something like a NEXUS card would help expedite daily border crossings. |

I know people w/ Nexus cards that cross from Windsor to Detroit daily. I don't envy them.. they have to fill out tax forms for Canada, the US, Ontario, Michigan...

I don't really know how this works, but I do know someone who lives in Canada, and he is pilot. He spends a lot of his time in Florida training people how to fly. His perm res. is in Canada and he gets paid from a company in Canada, they just keep him in the US a lot of the time. It does sounds interesting. |
