Can you keep both US green card and Canadian PR

[JoeF]

What your lawyer probably referred to is the so-called commuter status, i.e., you live in Canada, and work in the US. That's the only possible way I am aware of.
You need to file an I-90 for that.
Be aware that as Permanent Resident you have to file resident tax returns in the US, and you have to declare your worldwide income. My understanding is that if you live in Canada, you have to declare your worldwide income in Canada as well.

Depends if you are using your Can status actively

If you have just entered Canada and come back (not applied for medical stc in Can) then yes you have time to enter Canada until 3 more years. Till then you don't need to pay taxes in Canada if you reside in the US.
