I dont think my line of work qualifies as a contractor. The US regulations are very strict on the definition.
what are the costs/legalities associated with setting up a canadian payroll?

I am an employee. But if I switch to independent contractor, I wouldn't need to pay EI, correct? The other two solutions would be to put on a canadian payroll (but how? They are not in canada nor do they conduct business here. Would this cost them a lot?) Or, to drive 3-4times a week to US border an...

Thanks for your insight! So what happens now with all the wages I have earned so far and the taxes I have paid to the US? I WANT to be paying US Social security, not CPP, as I fully intend to move back and retire in the US. I also worry that being a contractor may be an issue as a green card holder....

Yeah, I have been reading some and I'm super overwhelmed! So does this mean that I will most likely have to end up paying a tax in Canada? Is it pretty much them seeing how many taxes I paid in the US vs how many I would pay in Canada for the same income and then I pay the difference after tax deduc...

Sorry about the quote! I noticed it when I posted the reply. Not really. I haven't even been told to switch at all, and I still have my US residence, job, bills, and plenty of ties in the US as to not get my GC revoked on that end.
