Any one who has a Canadian GC and who is applying for a US GC, can you please post your experience. I was told that you cannot have a GC from two countries at the same time. I was wondering if you have to surrender your Canadian GC once your US GC is approved.
 
No Title

you are right i got canadian GC, landed in canada last year Jun 2001 but living in US. I believe you can\'t have two permenent residency at same time . you have to give up one. but why you need two caz even if you have one you can visit another country lawfully.. ofc can\'t work.
 
Lawyer said you can have GCs technically but the problem is that how you can prove you are maintain

I heard from one of my friends that his freind got US GC recently. Last month, his friend entered Canada border using his US GC. Then Canadian officer told him that we found you have a Canadian GC from computer system. Then he was asked to chose which GC he wants to keep, he said he have to keep US gc. Then he was asked to sign on a form. When he came back to US, he told my friend that his Canadian PR was taken away.
 
Can you have Canadian PR and have the US GC in process?

My impression is that you are ok to have Canadian PR while your US GC is in process, however, when you get the US GC and now have two permanent residencies - you must make a choice. If that is correct, do we still keep travelling back and forth between canada and US? on the Canadian PR?
