Hi, I'm a Canadian resident working with an Amarican consulting Company. I have a TN visa and I work in Canada and in the US always coming home for the weekends.
My employer withholds US taxes when i deliver work in the us and withholds canadian taxes when i'm in Canada.
As a Canadian resident can I ask my employer to only withholds taxes to canada no matter where I work? If so, based on which law or form?
If not, I guess i'll have file taxes in both countrues. Will I have to declare my total earnings in Canada because I'm a resident?
Canadian on TN visa working in both Canada & US. Taxes?

The employer is acting corectly.
You will pay US tax on your US income, and will report all world income on your Cdn return, getting credit for the US taxes.

After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
