If I earn money from Ireland as an employee, can I live in Canada?

[Gygex]

I am earning money from a home family business that I am technically an employee for. I am wondering if I earn this money and apply for a work/holiday visa for Canada can I still continue to work for the home business to technically "fund my holiday"? I do Flash development and can do my job from anywhere and so its possible for me to do my work abroad. I have just read a lot about tax income splits and other scary stories of being kicked out of the country, but those stories dont specifically apply to my situation. I hope someone can steer me in the right direction, as all this visa business is giving me a headache. Thanks in advance.
