    @Kai G. Llewellyn - You are awesome!! 

    The info you provided was the insight I was looking for.  Members like you are what makes the VJ community the best.

    I see you are from WA State as well.  I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe from all the crazy weather and flooding we've been having the past few days.

    Oh, my apologies got a bit mixed up there. Yes, as a USC you are always authorized to work in the US no matter where your actual residence is. There are many people living in Canada who work in the US, and it's a pretty common scenario. You may need the assistance of a cross-border accountant to assist with taxes as with work done in the US, the IRS would tax first, and then the CRA would tax the difference between the US rate and Canadian rate of taxes. There may be additional complexities with State level taxes as well which an accountant would be able to assist with.
     
    If you are planning to live in Canada as your sole residence you will need to have your wife sponsor you for Permanent Residency there, you cannot live in Canada as your permanent home on visitor status. Strictly speaking your wife will have abandoned her LPR status the moment she abandons her intention to have the US as her permanent home after going to Canada. For her to move back to the US you will need to petition her for an I-130 and go through the entire process again. Her naturalizing would prevent that from happening, but it does mean she will need to file US taxes every year for the remainder of her life.
     
    If your wife is willing to sponsor you under the Family Class for Permanent Residency in Canada, so long as you can clearly demonstrate to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada that you and your wife will genuinely move back to Canada, you should be granted Canadian PR status upon successful application providing that you are admissible to Canada. There is no prohibition on Canadian PR's working in the US if they are authorized to work in the US by USCIS or by virtue of being a USC.

    I'm sorry to hear you are going through this.  I remember seeing and reading your comments from the VJ Canada Portal.
     
    Personally, if I were in your situation, I'd question if staying in the US is prudent during these times.  It sounds like you have a large support group of family and friends back in Canada.  After going through a divorce, I know I'd want to be closest to family and friends during that time.

    I agree with the post above, hire an attorney and get the ball rolling on your divorce.

    Update to our earlier update.  

    Just received NOA 1 text with case number starting with "LIN".  Updated on October filers spreadsheet.

    Internally, we are very happy that the process is moving along for us.  At the same time, we feel for other couples waiting to receive updates for their ROC petitions.  Good luck and positive vibes to everyone of us during this process! 🍀

    Hi, i also sent our packet on the 13th and received on the 15th in Arizona got our letters today but no text or email. I was wondering why my service center (base on our case/receipt number) says SRC which i believe Texas Service Center. Do you think they transferred it to Texas? I have no idea because i didn't receive any text or email
