air_canada said:Yes , you 'll need a visa to enter US ( H4 if your spouse is on H1B ) - Just keep extending your H4 when your spouse extends his H1.
Its OK if you stay and work in Canada ( Canadian PR + H4 ) and your spouse ( Canadaian PR + H1B ) works is the US and you keep vsiting each other.
There are however, 2 issues to be taken care of ( apart from minor questioning at the time of crossing borders ) :
1. taxes : you 'll have to start filing tax returns in both countries. US- Canada tax treaties will save your spouse's income from double taxation.
2. 3 year limit for your spouse and kids canadian PR - They 'll have to be inside canada every 2 out of 5 years ( or count 730 / 1825 ) days else they lose their status.
