Maintaining Permanent Residence You may lose your permanent residence status if you commit an act that makes you removable from the United States under the law in section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If you commit such an act, you may be brought before the immigration courts to determine your right to remain a Permanent Resident. You may be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status if you: - - - Move to another country intending to live there permanently. - - - Remain outside of the US for more than one year without obtaining a reentry permit or returning resident visa. However in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the US may be considered, even if it is less than one year. - - - Remain outside of the US for more than two years after issuance of a reentry permit without obtaining a returning resident visa. However in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the US may be considered, even if it is less than one year. - - - Fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the US for any period. - - - Declare yourself a “nonimmigrant†on your tax returns. It would also subject you to being taxed under Canadian tax law, since most of your time would be spent on that side of the border (16 hours out of 24 equates to more than 182 days per year ... and no, it doesn't matter if you actually work 10 and travel 2 each way, you'll still be listed as single-shift employment, which means an 8 hour day). Since your primary residence would be in Canada, you would have voided the requirements for maintaining your status
