Ask your question on an US immigration forum.

If your priority date is 2018 I would imagine you already have your I 140 approved long time ago from your current employer. Why are you then worried about losing your line in GC?
Once you have an I 140 approved the priority date is set for your lifetime even if your employer immediately revokes your I 140.
You will not be able to use your revoked I 140 for filing I 485 in future but you wont lose your priority date. As soon as you find another US employer who can sponsor green card for you they will be able to use your 2018 priority date that was assigned to hour when your first PERM was filed.
Can you provide the month and year when your I 140 was approved? Also did that employer revoke the I 140 after that? If so when (provide only month an year).

Read more online about the rule on how to transfer H1 and retain priority date. its all online.

You dont loose the priority date just because you are changing employer. New employer can restart your gc process and retain your existing priority date. Your employer will know. Also they can transfer your H1(transfer in the sense of getting new 3 year H1) based on your current employer's approved 140.

Processing gc is nothing to do with you being inside US/Canada/xyz. Its for future employment, not for current employment. If you are not joining now then they dont need to transfer anything and you can simply join them in Canada and do the rest of the process later.

You should be asking your new employer all these things as its the first criteria for you to join.

Thank u for ur advice! The company which has given me offer is Canadian company with no operations in usa.so I can’t negotiate with them regarding this.But I m not able to make up my mind -leaving my company means gc gone until and unless I find usa employer who will be ready to file green card for me.
It’s just been 1 yr in Canada and till now usa seems to be more apt for me .Does after staying in Canada for 2-3 yrs will I find it better ? Plz share ur experience.
Thank u !

I didnt work in Canada hence dont know but some posts i could see to make it through in few years.
If you cant negotiate on it then you can decide if you want to take it now and later you would try with new US employer(after Canadian citizenship) or simply stick to your employer.
No one knows when 2018 will become current while fight between dems and reps will never over as both favor 2 different sides and they both will never agree for immigration reform(especially for legal immigration).

Immigration is a mess. It never ends.

We cant choose always a right decision since we dont know if its going to be right in future. Everyone has made and will make bad decisions hence dont stress much about it. So just go with your guts and change course if required. We cant predict future. Just choose the best of what it feels now.
