No. An EAD is substantially different from a green card. The EAD card is simply a work permit, while a green card (also known as a permanent resident card) grants you the right to live and work in the United States. Furthermore, the EAD is temporary and has a short expiration date. On the other hand, you only need to renew a green card every 10 years. Finally, the EAD concerns only the right to work. But a green card also brings supplementary rights, such as the ability to sponsor family members for their own green cards.
