Hello everyone
I'm a little confused
I'll be entering Canada soon through a study visa
Is it possible to work remotely in USA from Canada with a study visa
And does it relate to 20hrs/week

Does the company have Canadian customers or clients or offices in Canada?
 
Your citizenship doesn't matter. All that matters is if the company you are going to be working for has any customers in Canada and/or if it does any business in Canada. This would include if anyone in Canada may buy what they produce or use any of the services they offer.

Okay I understand
So how do I handle tax and payment
And do I give them my social insurance number
I guess 20hrs/week doesn't apply right

Yes, as long as all of the above is true, then the 20 hours doesn't apply.

I'm not sure what information they will need from you.

In terms of taxes, when you file taxes in Canada, you must declare and pay tax on your worldwide income. So you would declare the income you are earning from the US company and pay tax on it in Canada.
