Hi all,
My US company is not willing to let me work from Canada (company politics). But they let me work from home in US. My plan is to maintain my work location in US at my friend's house and work remotely in Canada. This way, my company won't have to literally transfer my job and can do everything as they are doing for me now - pay, benefits etc. I am going to discuss this with my company.
My concern is how often should I enter US? I have read many threads/posts where people have done it as frequent as once a week to once a year. I am thinking of coming to US once in like 4 months and work here for a week and then go back, just to salvage my H-1B. Does that seem reasonable enough to not have too much of a hard time at US border or denial to enter US?
I am thinking when it comes to tax filing in Canada, I would file it as someone "earning income from a foreign company". I have not looked into this in detail, but I am guessing there must be an option for this and won't this be same as those filing taxes in Canada who live in Windsor and work in Detroit?
Your valuable inputs are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
