International money on H1B

I have built an app for my cousin in Canada who provides a service to his clients and they pay a monthly fee and I get a cut. So I make around 12k CAD a year. He wants me to withdraw the money once in 6 months, so he doesn’t want to spend my money by mistake. Also, I am planning on moving to Canada in 1.5-2 years. what options do I have to bring the money into US? As gift? Just send to bank? or Is there anyway to create an account in Canada and save there?

I’m dead serious. What’s wrong with this idea? Check gold prices in last 30 years

@OP, just spend the money in US via credit/debit card... I am sure your yearly credit card purchases will run above 12K CAD a year....

Easily over 20k USD, but bringing the money into US will count as an alternative salary which is not legal under H1B
