On april 9th 2011 i crossed the border and did my CR1 after about 1 month i got my green card in the mail! Its a CR1 with stamp 155 or something so in 2 years i have to file a form and what not, but my real question is, my parents want me to visit for about 2 weeks and i havent even been in the usa for that long. If i cross the border into canada now and say im staying for 2 weeks will they not let me cross or anything becouse i have only just got my green card. Is it too soon? should I wait? Iv been looking everywhere to try and figure this out.

You could have turned around and went back right after you'd entered if you would have wanted.

2 weeks out of the US is totally fine.

I am assuming you are a Canadian citizen so returning to Canada to visit will not be an issue as far as the Canadian CBP are concerned. Returning to the US will also not be a problem after a visit of only two weeks. I returned to Canada a week and a half after my POE, then again a month later. I had no issues either time returning to the US.

Have a nice visit. :)
