I'm a US Citizen working for a US company, looking for issues with telecommuting during my visits. (Example: drive across the border for a long weekend, continue my normal work from a coffeeshop during the days I'm there.)
It seems like there should be no issues, but I need official proof, and can't find it. (And really, this seems like such an easy question!)
I can't find anything official from the US perspective.
From Canada's perspective, it looks like a non-issue, since it wouldn't even be considered work:

What kind of activities are not considered to be “work”?

- My company has no presence in Canada.
- I am not interacting with any person or company in Canada in any way in the course of my work, regardless of where I do it from.
- I will be in Canada for less than a week at a time, significantly less than 6 months per year total (more likely 3 months at most).

What kind of activities are not considered to be “work”?
- An activity which does not really 'take away' from opportunities for Canadians or permanent residents to gain employment or experience in the workplace is not “work” for the purposes of the definition.
- long distance (by telephone or Internet) work done by a temporary resident whose employer is outside Canada and who is remunerated from outside Canada;
