I am a Canadian citizen and now US LPR. I just got a job for a US company that has offices around the globe. - Is it possible to remotely work for this company in Canada so that I can visit friends and family after work hours?
- Would I have to pay taxes for both Canada and US?
- What should I say to the customs officer at the airport as to what my purpose for this visit is? (i.e. visiting family, or, what should I say if they ask if I will be working?)

Following multiple setbacks, my medical is set to expire in August. The Montreal Consulate just requested ANOTHER document which they could have requested at the interview. The window for the actual move to USA is looking pretty tight right now. The process seems to be engineered for foreign spouses sitting overseas twiddling their thumbs, waiting for the golden doors to swing open so they can immediately flock into the USA. Some of us are working people and have complex affairs to settle once we finally get the visa. What is the best way to postpone the process to give us some more breathing space? I imagine I can request another medical? They have my passport, so would I need to request that back? Also, I think someone posted that the consular officer needs to approve another medical. Can someone advise on a suitable course of action?

Hello! I submitted my DS 160 as spouse of US citizen but one of the reddit alt accounts I had created was a name followed by a number. i could not find in my records what it was because i hadnt used that alt in 2 years. I went off memory. I accidentally uncovered today what the exact name is... should I call NVC to notify them, email them so there is a record i am not concealing anything? Or should i just bring it to the interview? To clarify, there is nothing egregious on that account. Just me complaining about covid.

| Double PR (US/Canada) and NEXUS |

Hey all, So I just got approved for my NEXUS today (woo!) after an extremely long wait of 14 months to get an interview plus 3 years of waiting to become eligible due to the CBSA's residency requirement for PR's! So, I'm a PR of Canada and the US, due to living in the US and working in Canada. It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere but yes, having PR in both countries is no problem for NEXUS, nor is having the 2 year conditional green card. The biggest hurdle was walking through the officer with all my updated info as I originally applied before I moved to the US and became a LPR, but outside of that it was an easy and smooth approval. I also mentioned to both CBP and CBSA that I had a pending citizenship application in Canada and they mentioned for me to come back once I had the Canadian passport. Hopefully this info will be of use to other members here looking to do the same! Edit: Ooops, this was posted in the wrong board, mods, please move this to the Canada Regional Sub-Forum. Thanks!
