2. what about auto insurance, does canadian companies insure cars while in USA?
3. will there be problem with canadian title car while entering US border by road?
does anybody have experience regarding commuting by road.

I don't know if you will have a problem having a Canadian registered car in the US but you will have a problem driving a US registered car if you are a PR living in Canada. I am sure you can get insurance in Canada that will cover you in the US.

1. Should i have canada title Car for commuting or USA title car, as i am 4 days in USA.

I think its better you register car in Canada since you are resident (PR) in Canada and a non-immigrant (H1B) in USA. Makes sense.

2. what about auto insurance, does canadian companies insure cars while in USA?

Insurance usually covers Canada and USA so that shouldnt be a problem.

3. will there be problem with canadian title car while entering US border by road?

Nope. Consider gettng a nexus card though.

does anybody have experience regarding commuting by road.

Millions cross the border daily... you will just be one of them.
