Just called IRCC. They confirmed that I don't need a Canadian work permit in my situation.

True. My understanding regarding ‘normally part time or incidental to the reason someone is in Canada’ is that my foreign job has no bearing on me being in Canada. I'm doing data analyses and writing papers for that foreign lab, which could be done from anywhere in the world. The job isn't why...

I finally found the information on IRCC's website. I'm pasting it here for other people's reference: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/what-is-work.html What kind of...

Do you mean you printed the pics on A4 papers? Thanks

Thank you so much for the info about the content! And great idea to print it instead of hand writing. I think I'll do that, too.

I mean, depending on what you mean by "connections". I wouldn't be surprised if some research labs in the German university collaborate with other labs in some Canadian university, but that's not my situation, and scholar collaboration is different from business partnership anyway. In this time...

Thank you!!!

I wouldn't be able to apply for a Canadian work permit anyway, as this is not a Canadian employer. This job doesn't meet the requirements for any type of Canadian work permit, open or closed.

I just wonder if doing so is legal.

Yes, it's in a university. I will work for them as a visiting scholar, but I will work remotely from Canada.

Dear all, I will start working for a German research laboratory remotely from Canada starting in this May. This job has no connections with any Canadian company or clients at all, and all my income will be paid in Euro to my German bank account. Do I need to apply for a Canadian work permit...

I see, thank you. I'll try to avoid the 2nd trip then.

Seriously, if all inland applicants are stuck in Canada for the 1 year or even longer time it takes to process, that sounds kinda irrational or even inhumane... I mean, I understand that the principle applicant must show they are living with the sponsor, but shit happens. What if the principle...

They have no connections with Canada at all. I have consulted about 5 immigration consultants (I believe that all of them are certified consultants). 3 of them advised against inland application. The other 2 said that short-term travels for just 1-3 weeks would be totally fine as long as in the...

Dear all, I (principle applicant) am submitting an inland spousal sponsorship. I'm already in Canada with a multi-entry TRV. I work remotely for a German research institute, and my job requires occasional short-term travels to Germany (about 2x a year for 1-3 weeks each time). A few immigration...

Also, does it matter which type of pen/ink I use to write on the back of the photos? Is a ball pen okay?

Dear all, I'm applying for spousal sponsorship, and I plan to submit 20 photos of me and my spouse taken over the years, as an additional proof of the genuineness of our relationship. My understanding is that on the back of each photo, I need to write the date and place the photo was taken. But...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Dear all, My current status in Canada is multi-entry TRV valid until January 2021., and I will apply to a permanent residence (PR) via in-land spousal sponsorship soon (I'm married to a Canadian). My foreign (Chinese) passport will expire in January 2021, on the same date that my TRV will...

In this case, would I be legally allowed to work remotely (from outside Canada) for a Canadian company/institute, then? (Assuming that Canadian company/institute itself has no problem with me working remotely for them). Thanks!
