Hi all,

I'm super new to this forum as I only received my COPR today.

I'm a Family Class US Outland applicant who will land Saturday in BC.

I plan of course to live with my wife in our border town, but also continue working my US job across the border for a time to have health insurance (MSP is a three month wait in BC).

My wife read some CIC pages that suggest I cannot work in the US because it will jeopardize my PR status.

Is this true if I'm only working there, and not living there? TN visas are only for Canadian citizens. I don't need any kind of permission to work in the US if I'm still a citizen, right?

Help!!!

Thank you

Working in the US will not jeaopardize your PR status because to keep your PR, you must only live in Canada 2 years out of 5 and if you are living in a border town, living in Canada, just travelling to work every day in the US, you are never out of Canada for even a day.
