If you have both a valid TRV and a Green Card. Which one would make it faster and easier to enter Canada?

And does it matter if it's by air or land?
And Would using the Green Card cancel the TRV?

Please share your experience.

The US green card doesn't cancel the TRV. You can enter by either. It should take roughly the same amount of time, it usually only takes a few minutes to get through customs.

If you are travelling by air you will still need an ETA with the green card, so it might be better to just use the TRV instead of paying $7 for the ETA each time.

By land it doesn't matter as far as I know.
