If you already have US Permanent Resident status and Canadian Permanent Resident status and if you move across US/Canada border back and forth by road, US immigration officers and Canadian immigration officers do not stamp Passport . How does both US and Canada keep track of how may days you have remained within US or Canada ?

gc_hoper,
My US employer is neither paying me or firing me although I have my PP stamped with PR status. I have now decided to work for another employer. Tomorrow if INS questions my reasons for leaving my first employer, I do not have any proofs to protect myself. If my US PR is revoked , I must atleast be able to go to Canada. In view of this I was trying to keep both US and Canadian PR.

answer to silver.
I understand your concerns. Legally you can keep both documents(green card and Landing immigrant paper. In order to maintain both you need to have 183 days of residence and which is not possible(be logical).
In your case please hang on for few months(i would say 6-9 mon) and then surrender your landing paper to the canadian authorities.
My friend has gone with the same thing. He had first landing paper from canada and then he got his green card in EB2. He hang on for 6 months(even though he left his company after Passport stamp) and then went to buffalo and surrender his landing paper. I was with him and they just asked him few questions under oath. I can even tell what they have asked you if you request me. they cancelled his landing paper and gave back to him.
I hope this helps and as usual consult any attorney before taking this advice.
