I'm working in US onH1B status (I-94). My wife has a H4 status. The single entry
visas into US has been used and expired. We have a Canada PR landing papers expiring
in Oct 27 and we want go Canada once to register as a PR before this date.

We should not have problem entering Canada since I'll use the Canada PR landing paper
as the visa.

What I'm not clear is, is there any problem reentering US with the
H1B/H4 status? This question is actually two parts:

1. Does Canada allow me to board on a flight to US with the H1B status and Canada
PR status?

2. Does US allow me to reenter with the H1B status at the airport immigation
cheking point?

Thank you in advance for any information.

You may well have problems entering Canada since you are not about to establish
residence there. You must be ready, willing and able to establish residence in
Canada upon landing. You are not supposed to land and then turn around and go back
to the USA.

Your current H1B visa will raise questions.

Canada does not stop you leaving ... they may refuse to let you back in though later,
or may revoke your PR status when they learn you have not actually established
residence.

They don't care about your Canadian PR status. ALl they are concerned about is
whether you are legally able to enter the US.
