So my interview went well, and I was informed that I have to wait a week before I get my Canadian passport back with Visa stamp on it + a envelope that is not to be open to be given at the border.

I was informed that once I go to United States, I cannot come back till i get my Greencard in my hand. Is that True?

Greencard is valid for 10 years, so once I get this card, I can come back to Canada and travel back and forth, sell my vechile and house and all that good stuff...is that accurate

Anybody a canadian here who has kept there dual citizenship? How does that work? are there rules? limitation? is my Ohip still valid

Is there factual information on how long can do I have to be in Canada...or USA....any place I can go to get more detail information?

Can't answer your first question about reentry because you didn't mention what visa you have.

Sure once you have your green card you can sell all your stuff etc - you can do that now if you like.

There is no problem with having dual citizenship, nothing special you have to do - but citizenship in the U.S. is a few years off for you anyway.

Good luck!

I supposed your visa is CR1/IR1?

If so, you can cross borders with a temp I-551 stamp on your visa even before getting a GC.
