I've lived in Canada most of my life. If you are a US green card holder, that means that you aren't a USA citizen, that you are a citizen of some other country. That is what Canadian employers are going to look at when you apply for a job. A US green card doesn't open any doors as far as employment in Canada is concerned. However, once you are married to woman who holds a First Nations membership card, you may be to entitled to some employment rights under their self-government, but you will still need to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN), and your employer may have to prove that he can't find a Canadian citizen to fill the job position that you have applied for. For accurate, up-to-date information, you should check with Employment Canada. I highly recommend you do even before seeking employment so that you will know first-hand what your rights and restrictions are.

To achieve employment in Canada, you'd have to go through the working visa/permanent residency process for Canada - your existing US documentation does you absolutely no good. Canada's permanent residency laws and enforcement aren't all that much less strict than the US ... about the only thing going for you in bringing an Indian national into the country would be that the relative wait list is shorter (fewer wanting to immigrate to Canada, with respect to the number of individuals trying to enter the US). You *may* run into difficulty in living in one country and working in another based upon taxation. For example - you'd be spending at least half your day in Canada (at home) ... which means, over the course of a year, you'd rack up enough hours to be considered a Canadian resident for taxation purposes. Your US firm would likely only be withholding sufficient funds to cover the US taxes ... which leaves you holding the bag, so to speak, come April. Your best bet is to pick a country (the US would be good, since you already have PR status there) and stick with it.
