yeah but the only difference is I will be working for my own firm, which will
be contracted to a Canadian firm, and I am the owner of said US

I am not a Cdn tax resident, all of my taxes are withheld in the US and I have not had to deal with any Cdn taxes. I am an employee for a US survey firm, not a contractor.
