I (Canadian citizen, non-US citizen) worked in the US on a TN visa for 4 years and have recently returned to Canada (TN still valid).
My US employer (does not have a Canadian side) wants me to keep working for them from Canada, no commuting involved. I would be working remotely via phone and computer.
They have told me that their HR dept has spoken with their lawyers and that when my current TN expires I will not need to get a new one, I can simply continue to work.
I have many concerns about this and I am not sure what they have told me is correct.
Also, I have many questions regarding tax deductions, salary payment.
Is the information they have provided nearly correct?
Where would I pay taxes? Would they have to not withdraw taxes in the US and instead I would pay in Canada?
Any hints will be appreciated.
