Can Canadian commuting to work in US apply for US green card

good explanation provided by Mr. Rizzo.


I guess other than the Windsor Detroit route, one cannot really commute daily into US from Canada.so this is the only route where a commuting green card would be applicable.

There is no residency requirement for commuter LPRs.

Hi there,

Currently I am under the OPT status (12 months US work eligibility after school) and I was wondering what the next logical step would be for me once this expires. I live on the Windsor/Detroit border (residing in Canada and commuting daily) and I was wondering if the commuter green card would be better for me or if the H1-B visa would be. I know the H1-B visa expires after 6 years and then you must take a full year off so this would be very challenging to do. Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

Where do you pay taxes, US or Canada. Do you have a social security card?

I currently work for a US company under a TN Visa. I am going to move back to Canada, work for the same in the US 2 weeks of the month. My residence will be PEI, where would I pay taxes? I already have a SSN down here.
