Has anyone who was on H1B then went to Canada for a masters degree to bump up the points to apply for the Canadian PR then either found a job and stayed in Canada after or came back to the US on H1B again? Also this might be a dumb questions but can you hold both the Canadian PR and the US green card? TIA!!

Anyone know which firms currently sponsor green cards for tax people? I had to switch firms with an approved I-140 and had my H-1B transferred to the current firm but they likely won’t help with my green card application. It’s a tough situation and I really want to get to the finish line with all the time spent waiting. Any tips or advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
