You're not giving enough information to really answer the question. But the bottom line is that an employer can't "make" an employee do anything he/she doesn't want to do. The employee could always quit.

Hey,

Thanks for replying. Actually my question is, there is a project going to be started in canada and the US employer finds the right person from India to work in canada, Is that possible for an US employer to do so. Please assume that employee is ready to travel. I am concerned about the process is possible or not, rather than employee's wish.

Regards,

If the "sending" company is a U.S. company and plans to employ a person in Canada, then the company must also obtain the right visa and work permit for the employee. The company would also be subject to Canadian laws, regulations, taxes, etc. In other words, you can't simply form a company in the U.S. to skirt Canadian visa and work regulations.

The other possibility is that you're talking about a U.S. company acting as a recruiting agent. In that case, it would need to contract with a Canadian employer, and still there would be the visa and work permit to obtain.
