HOW unless you work in both countries......

Both the US and Canada require you to report worldwide income at tax time. You cannot exclude income from one country when reporting in the other. That would put you in a lower tax bracket in both countries. I wouldn't advise cheating on my taxes with both the IRS and Revenue Canada.

1- I want to live in Canada and keep my current job as Canadian citizen and have my American PR at the same time. Is it legal ? Do I have to pay tax to US ?
2- To keep my American PR, I will live only two weeks in US for my yearly vacation and go back to Canada to work. Is it legal ?
3- I will collect two governments' retirement plan from both countries ?

Thanks

My advice is to decline your mom's offer and let the PR card go to someone who really wants it and will use it.
