Hi everyone.

I have been transferred on ICT startup visa last month in Canada and now my corporation is running the payroll for me. I’m the president of my corporation. But due to some unavoidable circumstances, I have to go back to my home country until july. So is it possible to get paid continuously in Canada while I’m in other country? I mean run the payroll and remit the deductions to the CRA while I’m not here. Is it possible to show that the employee went for a short market survey, analysis and manage the financials for the company? Please pardon me for my stupidity as I am new in this country and trying to learning the things.

Thank you.

Regards
Sahil

As in? I started exploring the market in Canada and trying to implement the plans of my company. I get paid for last month and the corporation withheld my deductions for December. But now for some reasons, i have to go back on urgent basis.

Not a lawyer. The fact that you just applied for an ICT and plan to leave for 6 months right away defeats the whole purpose of the start-up visa.

This is a lot more complicated given the fact that you are on ICT but you are leaving for a long period of time so not fulfilling the purpose of the actual visa. How would you get paid if you were not actually fulfilling your role in Canada? You need to be speaking to the immigration lawyer that originally helped you but if you are not working to setup the business in Canada you should of not be paid in Canada.

To keep things simple and straightforward, I highly suggest taking back the ICT opportunity. Small trips with business rationale are different but a long trip would cause trouble. Consult an RCIC or an immigration lawyer if you want to proceed with the way you are thinking. my two cents.
