Most LMIAs(especially for tech or management) are closed work permits. Even when you work online, you have to prove that you not stealing jobs from Canadians. Think about something like providing design/tech/etc service business which can be easily challenged to be taking jobs away from Canadians - not what I work do, but just how complicated this can get.
If you go back to my question and Posters original post yesterday, he is on open work permit. If I may rephrase " Is there any requirement restricting open work permit holder from doing side gig outside of Canada? If yes, can you share for our knowledge. Secondly, Is there any restriction for open work permit holder to set up own business while working for any other employer in Canada? I hate to think or speculate, but I would like to read any guidelines on those two issues to avoid misleading anyone. I'm certainly there is NOT, and there's no restriction whatsoever on foreign-income source as long as you comply with tax requirement and or setting up any business while on Open Work Permit in Canada. I'm not referring to Employer-Specific Work Permit....
Trying to find the source for not being able to work while on a temporary permit for a foreign employer with offices or clients/customers in Canada. If anyone else has the sources could they help me out. Thanks!
I agree what you say makes perfect sense when some countries don't tax or refund IT if one is not a resident, in such scenarios it makes sense to tax at home. I faced that when I moved from Australia to Canada mid year. ATO re-imbursed me the a few months of IT and CRA took the IT on my full global income Australia combined with Canada. I happily paid CRA their dues which I received as refund from ATO. However GCC didn't give my wife refund for CRA to eat which is where I didn't feel was fair.
