Canadian in USA, I have a green card. Moving outside USA

Hi,

If you are going to reside outside of the US for over (… a year?  You need to double check) then you need to apply for a ré-entry permit, otherwise you will lose your green card.

Hello! As a US green card holder, if you obtain temporary residency in another country (such as Mexico or Panama), it does not mean that you will automatically lose your green card. But there are a few key points to note:

Long-term residence: If you stay abroad for more than 6 months, you may be questioned when you return to the US. If it is more than 1 year, the US government may consider you to have abandoned your US residency.

Re-entry permit: If you plan to live abroad for a long time, you can apply for a re-entry permit, which allows you to stay outside the United States for up to 2 years without losing your green card.

Dual residence intention: Countries such as Mexico and Panama generally allow you to maintain green card status, but if you apply for permanent residence or establish a long-term residence in these countries, you may be considered to have abandoned your green card.
