Hello!

I would greatly appreciate your take on the following matter:
· My US green card was approved recently and I now have the temporary stamp in my passport.
· I was also approved a while ago for Canadian PR - however, I never landed.
· I was thinking of landing in Canada for a few days (and coming right back to the US) to preserve the Canadian PR.

1) Do you think I would have problems going to Canada or more importantly, coming back to the US?

2) On your way back to the US, would INS ask about my status in Canada? If they do, what is the best way of responding to such a question?

4) Can the INS cause problems with my green card or at time of naturalization based on landing in Canada?

5) I was especially interested if people in a similar situation as mine have been hassled at the US point of entry.

I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thank you.

-------------- if the landing date has not expired then fax and send letter to them and inform that you are not intrested in landing and request for the ROLF back, you may get back the ROLF if you write to them before the landing date expires
· I was thinking of landing in Canada for a few days (and coming right back to the US) to preserve the Canadian PR.
-------------------as you have US GC and if you land now in Canada After getting US GC then may face problems entring US, becase landing in Canada after US GC shows your intention to be permanent resident of canada
1) Do you think I would have problems going to Canada or more importantly, coming back to the US?
----------problem coming back to US. Canada has no problem as they need Laborers
2) On your way back to the US, would INS ask about my status in Canada? If they do, what is the best way of responding to such a question?
--------------- they can question your intent and by landing in Canada AFTER US GC clearly shows your Intent to live in Canada, they can take away your US GC
4) Can the INS cause problems with my green card or at time of naturalization based on landing in Canada?
-------------- I dont think you will be admitted to US after you land in Canada having US GC
5) I was especially interested if people in a similar situation as mine have been hassled at the US point of entry.

I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thank you.
