Currently on h1b, if my company files for green card and I switch jobs, does it effect my application. Secondly, are there any travel restrictions outside the country when the application is in process. Thirdly, if I move to Canada or UK, does the application keep getting processed or stop because I have left the country.

1. Yes, you'll likely have to start from scratch.
2. Yes at various stages but most of the time you'll have no restrictions to travel for short perioads of time.
3. Yes, it will be terminated. Also, once you get it, if you leave for extended period of time you'll lose it. Think well if you really want the GC as you'll have to commit your time in the US.
