Working remotely as a PR in Canada for a foreign company

[aurelero]

Hello,

Is it legally possible to work remotely in Canada for a foreign company (french)?
This would last for 1 or two months before the Canadian branch offers me a Canadian contract.
When I read this: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/personal-income/line-10400-other-employment-income/line-10400-foreign-employment-income.html
it gives me the impression it's definitely possible.
Anybody in the same situation as me? Thanks in advance!

Of course it's possible and OK

It does depend on the status of the person when there is a Canadian branch,

I might work remotely while waiting for the PR card and maybe a few weeks after I receive the PR card.
The parent company has offices in Ontario but I won't be employed by them at the beginning, I will be employed by the french branch and work from Ontario. Is this an issue? Thank you!

As a PR, you can work for whoever you want in Canada. Doesn't matter if it's a Canadian office or a foreign office.
