With the new immigration laws in place, I honestly wouldn’t recommend it. You’re likely safer traveling with a GC and even that may not be certain in these times. I traveled last summer on my AP and stayed outside the country for a week. I was very nervous coming back, but the process was so easy - you will be pulled into secondary inspection and they will take your passport and AP in the back for review. You should be fine if you don’t have a record/criminal history.
Good luck.

@menla seego so basically, right now they are being strict only with criminal history people right? if this is the case, i don't have any criminal record, so i hope i will be fine

none of us can determine what any individual CBP officer will do, nor can we predict what new insane idea or order this new administration will execute next. what we do know is it’s stricter and harder for anyone undocumented ( no visa, no greencard) many will say it’s safe and to not be fearful and others will say do not risk it. as I’ve been advised to stay put during uncertain times by my lawyer and family members. it’s always a risk for so many factors. even reading special advisory that came with my AP today I don’t have confidence being a Canadian with a clean record just in case I encounter a CBP officer that may be having a bad day. I say use your best judgement and weigh out the risks personal to yourself.
