    Living in Canada as PR. Working in US on H1-B

    Thanks everyone for your inputs. After more investigation, I also feel that I can take this path and live in Canada and work in the US. I just wanted to absolutely make sure that I won't be compromising on any of the requirements for maintaining my status(es) - PR in Canada and H1-B in the US.

    Work permit extension with the same employer - applying at the border?

    Don't know the answers to most of your doubts, but you can apply for extending your work permit online and thats much faster - 47 days I believe currently.

    Wrong name on the Work Permit

    WP Expiring, Extension in Process, Travelling to US

So if I submit TRV application with just proof of WP extension application, won't they convert it to an application for WP? In which case I am afraid, the processing time might run...
