Can a person on H1B in US work in Canada as WFH? Any work authorization needed?

Will basically continue working for US employer but wondering if possible to spend long amounts of time in Canada. (Have tourist visa)

No, H1B tied to office location. From Canadian perspective you would also need a work visa. You can't work there on tourist visa.

Not just visa issues, but also taxes. Your company would have to pay taxes to Canada, and client data frequently has restrictions on where it can exit to

Its illegal in short simple words. If you are talking a week or so maybe you can get approval but just because we are remote don't try this without proper written email communication

Is your company ready to pay Canadian corporate taxes and file tax forms in Canada ?

Canadian government will consider your employer is doing business in Canada by having a remote employee in Canada and may want to take a cut in profits they generate and can send a tax bill to your employer.

I signed my offer last week. How long until immigration contacts you for an H1b transfer?

Wanted to understand what happens in FAANG companies if H-1b visa runs out and there is no I-140 in place to extend visa beyond 6 years. Do they transfer the employee to a non-US office E.g. Canada? Does anyone here been through this scenario?

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks

I’m maxing out the 6th year for H1b and my I-140 just got approved. 1 month ago, my employer has filed a h1b extension but it is based on the approved PERM instead of the 140, and only asked for one-year extension.
