Work remotely in US for Canadian Employer

Post by cat »

I am a American with a Canadian PR card. If I temporarily go to the US for just a few months (due to family illness) and worked remotely with my Canadian employer would this would this change anything for me as far as tax or immigration implications?

I currently file my US (1040, Schedule B, 2555, 8891, TD ) and Canadian returns as required. I know I am not supposed to be gone from Canada for more than 6 months or risk having my PR status removed.

Are there any "special" documents that I would need to produce at the border? I would need to bring my 24" iMAC computer with me to work remotely.

There is no requirement that you be in canada every six moinths, other than not be outside for 3 out of any five year period (counting by days).

So six mionths, even 2 years is not a problem.

This is nit like the requirements for US green card, which are much more strict (but still allow for departures of more than 1 year).
