GREEN Card/US Immigration

[big_tymer]

Hey, I am a Canadian, studying medicine abroad with a green card and a re-entry permit for the United States. How much of an advantage is this when applying for residency positions and I have friends who don't have green cards and want to practice in the United States, what will be their fate?

Being a GC holder it will improve your chances greatly.

But you should know that being from Canada won't make it any easier (as it was in the past) to get that green card. Just be prepared for a long haul in getting it and maybe an immigration lawyer.
