"A Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed. To reenter the US a Permanent Resident normally needs to present the green card (Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) for readmission. A reentry permit is needed for reentry for trips greater than one year but less than two years in duration."

As a green card holder, you have the right to reside in the US.  You also are allowed to travel anywhere and anytime you want.  The limitations on travel are that you must maintain your residence in the US.  This means you must work here, not work outside the US, pay taxes, and maintain a residence.  If you want to travel, you can generally travel for up to six months without any problems (keeping in mind the other conditions I mentioned earlier).  The only way that travel outside the US would affect your ability to apply for American citizenship is that you have to have a certain amount of physical presence in the US.  I am not sure what those requirements are now, and they are subject to change by the time you area eligible to apply.

I think it takes 5 years, sometimes 3. It depends on how you got your green card.

Maintaining Permanent Residence\nMaintaining 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.\n\nYou may be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status if you:\n\n    * Move to another country intending to live there permanently.\n    * 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.\n    * 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.\n    * Fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the US for any period.\n    * Declare yourself a “nonimmigrant” on your tax returns.

My suggestion is that you contact the Canadian Consulate in New York and talk to immigration about your situation.  To my understanding of a permanent residence card you have to maintain a number of years in Canada to be eligible to write your canadian citizenship.  \n\nIf she hasn't done this, then she "MAY" and don't quote me but may have to do the process all over.  Check over the website I listed, it may answer questions you have

Yes, once you obtain Legal Permanent Residency you can naturalize.  The process for obtaining LPR status isn't that difficult to follow.\n\nSee CIS at www.DHS.gov.

Not at all.  Just long.\n\nFirst you have to sign a letter of intention with the INS.\n\nThen for about 5 years you have to live in the US without getting in trouble with the law (felony), and during this time you'll need to take classes on US history and civics.\nAnd, you'll need to brush up on your English.\n\nAfter 5 years, you'll have an interview with an INS agent, and they'll do a criminal background check, and do an employment referal.\nAfterwards, they'll give you an oral exam dealing with US history, US & state domicile government (know your governor, representative, and senators' names).\n\nOnced you've passed, all you have to do is pledge allegance to the US in a US courthouse.  Pick up a certificate and you're a naturalized citizen.

A green card will give you the status of permanent resident in the US. Which means you can permanently stay in the US.\nOther kinds of visa are temporary and after they expire you either have to leave the country or re-apply for a new visa.\n\nYou DO NOT have to carry it with you all the time. Only if you travel abroad. You will need to present it when you re-enter the US.\n\nA green card is valid for 10 years and will need to be renewed..pretty much like a passport. The renewal is just a matter of sending a single form..you don't have to go through the whole process again.\n\nHaving a green card is a mandatory step if you want to become a US citizen.\n\n\nRestrictions:\nYou are still an immigrant (actually a resident alien). So\nyou are subject to deportation if you mess up with the law.\n\nYou cannot and should not vote.

No, greencard holders (also known as permanent residents) cannot vote in U.S. They must complete a minimum 5 year residency requirement (3 years for spouses of citizens) and then apply to become a citizen before eligible to vote.\n\nEssentially greencard is a long term multiple entry visa (10 year visa) with immigrant intent.
