This question is for immigration lawyers who reside in both the United States and in Canada.
My family just received their permanent residency status in the United States within the last year (green card). We are living in the United States. While this processing had been going on, our Canadian immigration process had also been going on as my sister is a Canadian resident and she had urged us to start the processing. Well, just yesterday our Canadian immigration application was also approved and we were asked to come to Canada for landing purposes.
So my question is, can you only have one permanent residency at any given time, or can you maintain both the US and the Canadian residencies at once? Also, if you could refer me to any good Canadian immigration lawyers who can answer my questions on this, I would really appreciate it!
If going for landing in Canada means giving up my US permanent residency, I do not want to go with that. I also don´t want to do anything illegal.

you are going to have to choose because you cannot fufill both countries residency requirements at the same time.

I´m not sure about Canadian plicy here (just guess that they don´t care); but US doesn´t allow you to have another PR unless you commute to US daily like living in Windsor and working in Detriot.
Also, don´t forget your tax responsibility in both of the countries.

Just in case you are not aware, China recently started giving out PR cards to overseas Chinese (not citizens of China) as well as folks from other countries who have usable tech skills. I seriously urge you and your two-footed friends to seek the Chinese PR card as well.
