Cdn living in Can, work for US Corp, travel to US. What Visa

Post by bcmodus »

I am a Canadian Citizen, living in Canada, and have been offered a position with a US based Corp. (They currently have no operations in Canada)

I will continue to live in Canada and work remotely 85% of the time.

I will travel to the US to the Corp head office periodically to work with the rest of the team.
I will also periodically travel to the US to meet with our clients.

I have my own corporation in BC now so I have a few choices to make.
A) Contract to the US corp using the BC Corp. But what Visa would i use to cover my trips to the US? Can I even get a TN Visa without being an employee?

B) Work Directly for the US corp as an employee. What Visa would I apply for to cover my trips to the US: TN or B?

Thanks for your help.
