*** You can cancel/withdraw/abandon your Canadian PR. You will get I guess around 600 bucks out of 1000 bucks.

I think its not posible to keep both (US and CA)

*** How you can pay taxes? You need to have some income in Canada. There may be ways to do that.

*** If you need Canadian PR; sure you can send your passports and there shouldn't be any prob.

*** But you need to be sure which residency you want to keep as it would be hard to file taxes in both the countries and would be hard to maintain your residency.

I am thinking to keep both.
How much time will take to get the papers. mine is almost completed 2 months...
 
Mine papers arrived in 3-4 weeks of message change

Did you talked to any US lawyer about this.

I discussed my Canadian lawyer and he says it should be OK.
 
Re: Mine papers arrived in 3-4 weeks of message change

I think its not a prob. But If we want to keep both status then we have to pay taxes.
 
Everything is OK

I asked my US lawyer yesterday..he says it is just OK. As per him there should be no issues at border.

Rest all is on your own..
 
Hi bhand, Give your comments on this.

Dear bhand,

Give your comments on this 2 GC issue. Now it is confirm with Canadian and USA lawyers. One can keep both GC.

But, I will not recommend to go for that, until it is required.

Dont take it wrongly. I appreciate your past answers to all other issues including this one.

Thanks..
