I'm on H1-B in Atlanta, USA and also a Canadian PR. I applied for 140 and 485 for my USA green card recently. I have got my Advanced Parole and EAD.My company based in Atlanta has got a new project in Toronto, CANADA. I need to travel to Toronto, Canada from Atlanta every week

1)Can I travel everyweek (MON - THU) to Toronto and back? My H1 visa is expired (but h1 status is valid till 08).I can either use automatic revalidation or Advance parole to enter back to USA.

2)Will immigration autorities (either in USA or Canada) give me trouble because I travel so frequently abroad and that I have PR of Canada and applied for green card in USA?

3)If I use Advance parole, will my non-immigrant status (H1) gets cancelled automatically? ie I revert to EAD automatically?

4)Will the days I spend in Canada is counted towards maintaining Canadian PR (and eventual Canadian Citizen)

5)How is the queue for immigration entering into USA (I guess immigration INTO USA is performed in Toronto airport as against US Port of Entry)

Advance parole to enter back to USA.
------------you can use that but keep that as back up
2)Will immigration autorities (either in USA or Canada) give me trouble because I travel so frequently abroad and that I have PR of Canada and applied for green card in USA?
--------------------------your US I-485 is PENDING it is not approved. to Canada they can ask PR card and the last time you went out of Canada

3)If I use Advance parole, will my non-immigrant status (H1) gets cancelled automatically?
-NO, you are on H1 if working with same employer who filed Latest H1
ie I revert to EAD automatically?

-------------------------YES

------------if you are coming from Toronto to US then you face US immigration at Toronto Airport before you take a flight for US

you H1 Visa stamp is expired, when you are in Canada why dont you get H1 visa stamp from US consulate in Canada ?it will make US entry simple as many new officers dont know about automatic visa revalidation. go to DOS site and then take printout of Automatic visa Revalidation rule and keep it with you so that you can show if officer at POE dont know or remember
