**NAFTA allows a work visa but not permanent residency. However, it is easier to establish oneself under that programme in either country (US<->Canada) to get PR/landed immigrant status.

Oh sorry bout that. That was an unfortunate typo (as some will tell you I make loads of typos mainly coz I post on here after a few beers late at night)...I actually like Yorkshire a lot.

point 2 - why..? you need to show a passport when you arrive in the usa along with your green card. does it matter what sort of passport ?

Why confuse the issue? You're providing them with ammunition to use against you. These uniformed drones are programmed to look for out-of-the-ordinary red flags. If you like sitting in secondary inspection as your luggage goes round the carousel on it lonesome own,so be it! I'd rather be having a fag outside!
Use the passport you applied for your GC with. If they don't ask, don't tell.
