QUESTION:
I am a legal permanent resident of the U.S. My question is, can i stay in
Canada as a visitor and commute to the U.S. daily for employment. My
boyfriend lives in Canada as an international student.
========================================
david ingram replies:
I assume that you have a US resident alien (green) card.
That document does NOT allow you to live in Canada and commute to work in the United States. There is another "commuter" green card that you can change your existing document for.
I assume that you are a Canadian citizen to be moving back and forth freely.
Your other problem is that you will need to file a Canadian Income tax return if you have given up your US residence and are now living back in Canada.
If you are not a Canadian. you are likley violating Canada's immigration laws by living in Canada when you do not have a residence in the US.
Seek competent help before you proceed much further. If you are in BC, I would be glad to help you.
