Kindly use the search button and you will notice this same topic has been discussed in this thread a few times before.

Anywaz here goes.

1.If your H1 extension is after six years and after six year extensions are only granted by an approved labour app(gc) in usa.The sixth year extension is contingent upon the usa immigration process and yes you might have an problem at the interview...

2.You can appear any time before expiration with the new approved I-797.

3.You cannot hold both PR's at the same time. You will have to renounce either the canadian PR or Usa gc after you get them.

If you are only an 3rd yr H1 extension....there should be no problem.

This is what I found on US Green Card:

Once you receive a green card, you must meet a few conditions if you want to keep it for life. For one thing, you must not violate certain criminal or immigration laws -- including one law that requires you to advise the immigration authorities within ten days if you change addresses. For another, you must not abandon the United States as your permanent residence.

An immigrant can even be removed for failing to advise USCIS of a change of address within ten days of moving. In the past, USCIS almost never did anything about this. However, with increased security concerns, USCIS has begun using this rule against people it wishes to remove from the United States. You can now use USCIS's online service to notify it of your change of address.

Many people wrongly believe that to keep your green card all you need to do is enter the U.S. at least once a year. The fact is that if you ever leave the U.S. with the intention of making some other country your permanent home, you give up your U.S. residency when you go. The border officials will look at your behavior for signals that your real place of residence is not the United States.

The link:

Sooner or later someone will find out (US or Canada) is up to you if you like to play with risk.

Peace!

Hi BZ Mom

Thanks for your reply really appreciated! ,

Yes I am referring to the cash amount. We have to 2 kids so its going to be $20,654 as per cic website but Can I carry less amount coz I am not moving there yet? Or do we have to show them the proof funds ,We will only be there for a week and will come back to US and going to move permanently by the end of this year.- Upon landing, you have to show them the full amount required for proof of funds. But you can bring cash of any amount to cover your expenses during your stay. Pls note that proof of funds (e.g., bank statements, draft, etc.) is different from the amount of money or cash that you are bringing with you.
Would really appreciate your thoughts on it!

Thanks in advance

Here is the source of that info.USCIS Memo and also in general the US CBF and Canadian border force regularly quiz people on these matters if they are holding both. Technically this will kick into place only after both gc's are in hand.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3f443a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=3f443a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

1.If we dont stay in Canada for the 3 years we will anyhow lose the canadian PR.
1.We cannot stay more than 6 months outside the US after receiving the US GC.-Anything more than 6 months requires an re entry permit and those are not being granted easily.

So pretty much due to the exclusive nature of both the rules people give up one of them.Either Border force can refuse entrance to either country if they find you are not satisfying the residence requirement and will assume to have abandoned the gc in that country.

Even if one decides to commute daily from Montana to Alberta, or Ny to Toronto...still primary residence questions will come up.

The border patrol holds the power to intrepret this rule. I know some people do the six months in NY,six months in Toronto thingy...but they are clamping down hard nowadays.

I just showed the BOFA statement during my landing and I did not move my funds during my landing formalities, I think they are interested in validating whether you are having the required funds mentioned per person.

They can ask for all the amount even if you mention that youi'll be there just for a week, when you land is part of the requirement, what happend if you decide to stay and never come back? the website specifies the money you need to bring for your own expenses. I wouldn't tried to do that.
This is my humble opinion.

Peace!!

I had a similar doubt with regards to show proof of funds and also posted in the landing thread.
Previously Ell.Bee and other users had just used bank printouts or letters as proof of funds.

1.Would an letter from the bank or deposit statement be sufficient proof for the officer at Calgary Airport.
2.Would the expectation be that 10K or more(depending on family size) has to be shown in liquid cash
Also carrying more than 10K in either cash or traveller cheques will violate custom cash import rules ? So how much should one carry .
4.Also for people coming back with AVR does it really matter to show the funds because they are not moving right away and might not be opening the bank account right away?

I have looked at the CIC website and it does mention proof of funds as an requirement....however have not seen any major posts with regards to this matter from the users.

I would like to know as well .

Hey, please see my notes:
1. Either that or a print out of your full bank statement/s (I took 3 months')
2. Yes, pls refer to CIC web page for the list of amounts by family size. ensure your balances in total comes to that.
3. No need to carry any cash except for your immediate need. Bank statements is enough. Inform them you'll move these funds to Canada bank.
4. Why would you want to mention that you will return on AVR to US? Skip it.

If you don't have the required funds mentioned in CIC web page, you should be worried about your financial status and start saving! That is the minimum level of liquidity expected to maintain your family for a short period of time if you don't have pay check.

few landing experiences I found,which talks about funds

Posting by monteiromarcosb- Landing at coutts
He didn't ask for extra pictures, didn't ask for money or any bank statements (the only question about money was if I had more than $10,000 which I promptly said no). He asked for the address to send the PR cards and then I gave the address of a friend in Lethbridge. I didn't bring anything with me so I gave my list of goods to follow without any problems. We (my wife 3 kids and myself) then drove to Lethbridge.

I took, $2,000 in cash, bank statements (a little over $10,000 ), my retirement account ($10,000), but the officer never asked me about any money and just wrote "N/A" on the forms.

posting by Ooselo @ calgary airport

She asked how money I was bringing with me and I answered $500 USD, but in my bank account I have more than $14,000 CAD, then she put that amount in the form (the actual amount I mentioned). She never asked for any kind of proof.

Ell. Bee @ Calgary airport
They did not ask me to show any proof of funds. They only asked me how much I am gonna carry with me later. I told them the amount and they made a note of it. Incase they ask you, the bank statements should be good enough as proof of funds.
