Just an over reaction to the Microsoft thing a few years ago. May also want to limit expenses from managers that will just rubberstamp contract renewals too.

Ok, so bottom line I guess is that I am out of luck. It is not likely that they would go through the hassle of setting up a Canadian payroll and other associated headaches for one employee.
Thanks for your help!

So you are saying that the US company will send the exempt withholding to the IRS and then do a Canadian payroll for me? When people have spoken about the US company sending in a 1042 to exempt IRS withholding, I just assumed that the US company would send the full wage to me and then I would remit ...

I have searched google, looked through these forums, and talked to recruiting agencies and haven't found anyone that knows anything about this. Most situations involve a Canadian office or working in the US. I think it...

Canadian, working in Canada, for US company

I have had a great deal of problems trying to find answers to my situation. I have been offered full-time employment by a company located in the US. I however, will be working 100% in Canada for them. As far as I can figure, I am a non-resident alien and have zero US sourced income and therefore: I ...
