Hi
I have had a PR for a ~2 years now, almost all of it have lived in Canada (and before that another 2 years on a work permit). I drive to the US every now and then, and every time I cross the border, CBSA officers ask "Where's home for you?". Currently I just give them the name of the town I live in, and that's basically it.
Very soon I'll be moving to the USA for work, likely for at least one year. But I'd want to still visit Canada every now and then (see friends, visit places, etc). If anyone has done this, what do you say when you visit Canada for "where's home"? If you are saying that you don't live in Canada anymore, at what point will the border officers start questioning whether you still qualify to be a permanent resident?
