hi
I am u.s. green card holder, want to stay in canada and work in u.s, possibly seattle. I just want to know if there are any restrictions on crossing the u.s-canada border everyday.
thanks.

I have posted a similar question in the "Life After Green Card" forum.

To my knowledge, you cannot live in Canada and work in the US with a green card - unless you convert to commuter status - if it is for a long term. The problem is you need to have a job before you can change status and you have to keep re-extending the commuter status every 6 months.

Hope this helps.
