Does remote work count as Canadian work experience (working from home within Canada)?

No,you need to be physically present in canada to claim the experience ,any work done outside Canada even for the canadian companies will not count as a canadian experience. It will count as a foreign experience.

Hey there. Currently tackling all the PR requirements. I'm living in BC at the moment, about to take a full-time job at a company who are based in Toronto. I will be based in BC, but will also need to travel abroad for work. Does this count as 1 year work experience for PR? Thankyou

1- Short business trips should not be a problem; there are many entries in Canadavisa forum about this; you can search on Google.
2- Keep in consideration that you will not be able to benefit from any provincial nominee in the future if you live and work in different provinces.
