As long as you have a valid US visa like h4 etc

I am on H1B and I would be resigning.

As long as they are okay with it
You should be able I

They are ok for me to work from US as long as I want. But I know it will be against H1B rules. So wanted to find a reasonable time frame for which I can work from US and then move. I have heard that there is 60 days rule after resigning.

60 days rule is for your status in the country and not having to leave. It doesn't apply to you being able to work for a company that isn't sponsoring your H1b petition 🙄

How is your new employer okay with you working for as long as you want from the US? Do they not understand US immigration laws or do they not care (since you're the one liable).

Continue with your H1b job and live near Niagara (Canada)
