I was looking for some info about my I-407 question from a few days ago and came across this (it's from the US Consulate page in Toronto). My question is - do you think the part that is bolded is only true for the Toronto Consulate or could the same rules apply anywhere in Canada? Reason I'm asking is that I live in Alberta, could I do this here do you think?

Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Residence (LPR) Status (I-407):

Please download I-407 [PDF 624Kb] (and complete only those items that are highlighted in yellow). You may submit via mail or come in person to abandon your LPR status. To mail in, include your signed I-407 form, your I-551 (Green Card), and a cover letter explaining your intent to abandon your LPR status. Mail all of these items to Visa Unit, U.S. Consulate General Toronto, 360 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 1S4. If abandoning in person, please come to 225 Simcoe Street, Toronto, with all family members who wish to abandon LPR status, Monday-Friday, 830-11 am, holidays excluded. Please be prepared for a 2 or more hour wait.

Bring for each person:

Completed I-407,

Your Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-551 or "Green Card"), if available. If not in your possession then a signed, dated statement explaining its loss,

We will return a copy of your completed I-407 to you as your receipt. Please show this I-407 receipt to U.S. DHS immigration inspectors when you travel to the U.S. and mail a copy to the U.S. tax authorities (www.irs.gov). Once we accept your completed I-407 you revert to nonimmigrant status. Abandoning your LPR status does not prevent you from immigrating to the U.S. in the future and may not relieve you of U.S. tax obligations. If you wish to immigrate to the U.S. in the future you must qualify for a new immigrant visa from the beginning. http://toronto.usconsulate.gov/content/content.asp?section=visas&document=dhs_document_processing
