Is it okay to take this remote job?

[epmarshall]

Hi all,

I am a US citizen currently living in Canada working on PR and have been offered an online job that can be done from anywhere in the world as long as you're a native American English speaker. If the job pays in non-Canadian currency, am I okay to take this job? Technically, a Canadian could do the same thing since it's a global position, but it's global so I don't think I'm taking work from a Canadian or anything. I could do the same job from the US.

The company has several office locations around the world. No Canadian locations as far as I can tell, either. Here are the locations as listed on the company site.

Greater China:
Beijing, Dalian,Shanghai,Wuxi, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Nanjing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Wuhan, Changsha, Xiamen, WeifangHong, KongTaipei

APAC:
Tokyo, Osaka, Sydney, Wollongong, Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala, Lumpur, Johor

EMEA:
Zurich, Barcelona, Budapest, Mauritius, Florence

Americas:
Redmond, Charlotte, Santa Clara

Anyway, am I alright to take the job? And how can I contact CIC to find out if it's okay by them? I don't want to get the wrong information from the call center, but I'm not sure how to contact CIC.

Thanks for reading. Any help is much appreciated!

As long as there are no Canadian customers / clients you'll be fine.

Thanks for the reply, Scylla! That makes me feel a bit better. But is this something they are going to ask me to prove, the fact that there are no Canadian clients? I'm not sure how to go about proving that and just want to have all my ducks in a row before I get started with the job.

Also, I worked on another job a few months ago during my current visit to Canada. I wrote articles for a US company and they paid me in US dollars. I just recently submitted my visitor extension and included proof of the address of the company and a few receipts just to show they paid me in US dollars. I have been worried they are going to consider this working illegally regardless and deny my extension. Do you think I'm worrying over nothing?

Thanks again!
