  • It's not illegal as some people here are saying without the right information. However, most companies will not let you do that as there are some tax compliance issues for them.

    US immigration laws don't apply to you if you are not in the country. Canada doesn't care if you work for a foreign employee without a work permit/PR as long as it's not a Canada based employer (check with a lawyer though). Both counties have tax treaties so you are only treated as a resident in one of them.

      From a tax perspective, if you continue paying taxes in both locations which you have to, is not tax fraud.

      I am worried about the legal/visa implications

    I know a Canadian grade school teacher who lives in the USA at her parents vacation beach condo while teaching her Canadian classes remotely.

    She goes back to Canada periodically and teaches from her home and then flies back to the USA.
