I was basically trying to figure out my physical presence requirements in the US for a situation where I work from Canada (pretty much the whole time) for a US-based employer through an H-1B. Do I need to maintain a physical address in the US? Do I need to make frequent trips to the US (if...

I understand - the option to continue working for them as a contractor remains an option. In your last response, you've pretty much covered all of it and given me the right words to speak to someone else about it as well. Thank you! :)

I think it does for 90% of my concerns; thank you so much for sharing this. So it appears that people are able to work outside the US and be on an H-1B. The problem appears to be with re-entry (which doesn't seem so bad). I've asked my company's lawyers this question too, so I'll wait to see...

Understood, thank you. I just asked a follow-up questions on one of the threads there. How do I close this thread?

If you're a Canadian PR and hold an H-1B, is there a requirement to re-enter the US every month to maintain H-1B status?

Thank you @scylla. Some of the relevant answers in that forum are from 2018, and my concern was only if they're still applicable today.

Hello all, I have recently applied for a permanent residence through the PNP stream (still awaiting the result of my final application) and I intend to reside in Ontario. I'm currently working for a US-based company as a remote contractor from India and they're looking to file for my H-1B this...
