I work 100% remotely as a software engineer and live in Vancouver. My employer is a remote-first company, incorporated in BC and holding a Vancouver municipal business license. However, their registered BC address is a virtual office/mailbox, not a place where employees work daily.
The company allows employees to use coworking spaces, but there is no dedicated or permanent office in Vancouver. My employment contract states that I work from my home office.
BC PNP mentions that employers must have an ongoing fixed place of business in BC where employees can physically report to work, and I’m not sure how this is interpreted for remote-first companies.
Is a virtual office + optional coworking access generally acceptable for BC PNP, or is this considered risky?
