I have been a permanent resident since 2010 through my work and have been working and living in US. I married at the end of 2012 and my wife has both Canadian and American citizenship and she lives in Canada. We are trying to find a solution and settle in either US or Canada. She sponsored me for Canadian permanent residency and now that has been approved. I will like to have the options of moving to Canada and US open but I am afraid how getting Canadian permanent residency may affect my status as a US permanent resident.

I am temporarily working in Canada now but will be back to the US in a few month and will be spending most of my time working back in the US. Does anyone know if obtaining Canadian permanent residency can be considered as abandonment of US residency? How should I make sure not to run into trouble with the US immigration and not to lose the US permanent residncey.

You can nor maintain 2 permanent residencies, Canada will inform the US that you have ask for residence in Canada and the US will revoke your US LPR. On a side not, you can have multiple citizenship. You should have obtained your USC before obtaining a residence in a new country.

OPS.
