Hi 

 

I work for a consulting firm here at united states have my F-1 visa valid till Nov 2016, I graduated this May 2013 and I working on OPT, I got a client at Canada and I am applying for Canadian's Work permit Visa and I have to travel back to United States twice in a month till my Project gets over at March 2014. 

 

My opt is valid till June 2014 and Visa is valid till 2016,I am going to file my H1 petition through my current employer coming March/April 2014. Will there be any challenges at the Immigration every time I reneter th states since I have 8 months of OPT remaining?

Time outside the US is typically unemployment which is limited. You need to consult your employer's attorney since it is very unusual for an OPT student to be placed at a client outside the US by a US based company. The fact you require a Canadian work permit also likely has an impact.

 

WHy do you need to travel to the US?  Your project is in Canada.
