I applied for Canadian Immigration and successfully got one in 2003 while I was going through my US immigration. I got Canadian first so I took landing there in 2003 and came back within couple days to continue my job here in USA. I never visited Canada after that. After couple of years I got my US immigration as well and have maintained that. I have traveled to India couple times after that and came back in to USA using my GC without any issues.

I was planning a vacation in Canada this year. Does anybody here think I will have any issues
1. Going into Canada?
2. Coming back to US?


As far as I know I need only my GC to come back to US. Do I need any other documents to come back in to USA

Is US GC enough to travel to Canada?

As always thanks for your response.

You are good to go and to come back with your US GC only.
 
You abandoned your Canadian PR status 3 years from the day you last left Canada. Enter Canada as a GC holder. You can surrender your maple card on the Canadian border if you feel like it.

Thanks for responses.
Is that the law that we notify Canadian authorities of the abandonment? Can I do it online or through a letter? I would rather do it sitting at home than at the border :)
