Can a person with Canadian Permanent Resident live and travel between the US/Canada?

My wife is about to receive her Canadian PR in couple of months, and we are planning to move down and work in the Seattle area. I will probably have a work permit, but what about my wife's status? Is having a Canadian PR enough for us to travel back and forth between Vancouver and Seattle, of which we'll most likely do?Can a person with Canadian Permanent Resident live and travel between the US/Canada?I know that with a PR card you can travel to and from the US without much problems (make sure you have your passport with you just in case)... but that is only if it's purely for visiting. If she is planning on moving down to Seattle with you and finding a job... I think the best thing to do for her is to help her find a job before you guys move down. Therefore, the company that hires her can issue a working permit for her as well in the States. Or.. if she finds a job after the move, depending on the company, they should probably be able to do the same... but it may be a bit more difficult in terms of finding a job there and getting the company to do all the necessary documentation to keep her there.

Otherwise, if she is planning on moving down with you with no intentions of working as well.. the chances of her being able to stay for a long period of time may be kind of slim.Can a person with Canadian Permanent Resident live and travel between the US/Canada?if you leave the country for more tthan 5-6 months you loose your CDN PR....getting an american green card if really really really difficult i can't stress that enough!!! you can try applying to be out of the county for a fewyears at the canadian embassy but don't give up on it green cards are costly and take years! you may not even be entitled to get one...

you must have a family memeber here )that takes years)

or you must invest alot of money...either way more than 6 months out of canada you loose it...Can a person with Canadian Permanent Resident live and travel between the US/Canada?Well, it will do for a time but eventually they will tell a Canadian citizen no more entry to the US.



Not sure what you mean by PR



This just happened to my good friend and she ended up having to marry her American boyfriend to be able to stay in the US. She has been going back and forth for about 4 years and staying here 6 months at a time.Can a person with Canadian Permanent Resident live and travel between the US/Canada?
If YOU don't have the nescessary documents, YOU won't be allowed to cross. That's what it's become...before you could just smile and get over the border, but now, EVERYONE, even God himself would need the nescessary documents.
