    Us green card- canadian citizen
    I have my US Green Card which stipulates I must live in the Us.
    Recently I had to move back to Canada due to family emergency. (so I'm living in canada temporarily)

    Issue:
    I recently crossed the border ( not showing my green card) from canada going into the US and I got questioned. Eventually I told them I have a green card, they made me show it, they scanned my passport and warned me that I am not allowed to live in Canada and that I will need to fill out a re entry form.
    I have to live in Canada until my family issue is resolved. I flew over to the US to visit other family for the holidays. I have to return to canada.
    Question: 1. when I go to return to Canada, will canada customs be able to tell that I have a green card
    2. what can customs see by scanning my pass port
    3. what does one recommend I do in this situation? I do not want to lose my green card.
    4. does customs take a record eachtime u try and cross the border?

    Thanks kindly
