You could be on a holiday /visit and be meeting your work needs/requirements in a diff country. Technically, there isn't anything stopping you from doing that. But if you perform work from within Canada over an extended period of time you become liable for canadian tax since the income would be considered sourced from Canada. It's not as straight forward, so you're better off speaking with a tax professional to get the best view on it.
Correct answer. Work 179 days or less in Canada and you're fine
Check with your company’s policy on working out of USA too
Canadian tax is least of your worry, you are not supposed to work on a Canadian visitor visa (just like the US). You'll get questions from the CBSA at some point of time.
Huh? Go live there for 2-3 months and see if you don't get questioned next time around.. They aren't fools to not figure out you are only making few slides. I've had friends run into this issue.
You will not get caught. Just go on “vacation”, don’t say anything stupid to border patrol, use a VPN/proxy server, and continue to meet your professional requirements.
You won't get caught first few times. I've seen US IT folks getting refused at the border.
The standard, legal answer is no. You should only be conducting business meetings and not do productive work if you are not legally allowed to work in any country you are in (not a citizen or doesn’t have a work permit).
As noted by TI1 above, there’s also Tax implications, depending on Canadian Tax laws - if you are legally allowed to work in Canada (citizen or have a work permit), then you need to understand the Tax laws in Canada so that you won’t get taxed in the country you are working on.
Also, you need to understand if the company you are working for (and your client, if you are in the Consulting or Professional Services business) allows you to work outside the country - there may be strict regulatory requirements, data exportation requirements, non-existing entity in the country, etc., that needs to be considered when working outside your country of work.
Therefore, before working outside the country legally, ask your company’s HR/Mobility teams for advise. Now if you want to do this under the radar, then it’s all up to you…
This is needlessly conservative. We're talking about Canada, not China. Information flow/ data exportation / etc are not a concern unless you work for a defense contractor in which case you should obviously not attempt this.
Tax is the only implication, and 179 days is the cutoff
