Hello everyone! The topic of Canadian PR/citizens working as independent contractors with a US company has been very popular on this forum. However, I have not seen any information about how the US company pays a non-resident independent contractor. Is this through w2, 1099-MISC, or any other...

Hi all, Following the pandemic, several US employers are open to allowing employees to work from home (WFH). If a candidate is allowed to WFH and relocates closer to the US-CAN border, can the employee commute daily from Canada to their US WFH location? Is it possible to do this and if so...

Hi All, Has anyone, using AVR once every month, entered Canada after the changes to COVID testing requirements?

Thanks, this is very helpful.

In a similar situation here. How was your previous AVR experience when entering the US? If you don't mind sharing, what questions were asked when you entered US from CAN, and vice-versa?

Thanks for the response. The car is currently financed. If I am to frequently travel between the US and Canada for work, would I be able to keep the US plates until I pay off the car loan?

In a similar situation. I had to sell the car listed on goods to follow (GTF) and buy another. Would I still need to pay taxes or can the car listed on the GTF be updated?

@ lampbreaker Thanks !

Hi, has anyone been in a position where they quit their H1b job and moved to Canada? If so, how much grace time does one get after the last day of work to make arrangements? Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Yes, I agree that benefits vary from company to company. The health benefit offered at my current company is different from my previous one. I think what I was hoping is that someone would be able to say that ah...a 401K in US is equivalent to XYZ in Canada or may be there...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Kindly allow me to rephrase my question. What are the categories of benefits a company could potentially offer to their employee? For example, US companies could offer 401k, Stock options, health benefits, short/long term disability, maternity/paternity...

Hi All, Can anyone help me understand what benefits Canadian companies offer to their employees and how does it compare to the benefits offered by US companies? Thanks!

For how long can one use a US plate car in Canada?

@Prakash17 Thanks for sharing the info. Here is my experience: During grad school, I worked part-time i.e., 20 hours/week as RA in the same department, under the same mentor, for 20 months - no breaks in between. I had one offer letter - meaning it was one job. My responsibilities remained...

Could you please clarify what you mean when you say you were TA and RA? Were these two separate jobs? Based on what you mentioned it appears that these are two separate positions that you held most likely in different departments and/or different mentors. Is that right?

Hey, I decided to stick with Toronto and could reschedule for an earlier date. Thank you for your help!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your experience. I am planning to do a soft landing soon and have few questions. 1. Did you apply for SIN? 2. What about your PR Card? 3. Assuming that you are in US on H1b, did you have to, by any chance, use the automatic visa revalidation? If yes, how...
