I believe c2c is the right way to go and I think you have 2 choices.

ir2002ca(ir)

1.
- register a canada incorp
- register your incorp with us goverment
- sign contract with your current employer
- submit invoice on your time worked
- get money (without any hold) :-)
- you need to pay incorp tax to both US and canada
- you need to pay individual tax to canada (on the income for the remote work)

2.
- find a canada incorp which is doing the similar business with US (I guess there are lot), and they should already registed with US goverement (have EIN)
- work on behave of the canada incorp
- the canada incorp get money based on your invoice and issue your T4
- you get money from the canada incorp (tax/cpp/ei holded)
- you may have to pay some admistration fee to the canada incorp
- submit individual tax return to canada goverment as fulltime employee (using T4)
- no need to pay US individual tax for this case

This is just my personal understanding. There might be other choices available. Discussion and other opinions are welcome. Good luck.

枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / 我人在加拿大. 可以作为contractor为美国公司远程工作么? -hahaboboxixi(怎么就那么馋呢?); 2007-5-10 {454} (#3666857@0)
我的情况是这样. 我是加拿大PR. 目前在美国用H1B工作.由于家庭原因,很快就要quit工作回加拿大了.
但是这边的雇主希望我能把一个项目完成.于是他们想雇佣我作为contractor. 就是人在加拿大远程给他们工作. 我的理解只要我目前的雇佣关系一结束,我的H1B就终止.
那么请问大家
1.我在加拿大给他们做contractor应该不需要什么特别的美国的visa或者permit了吧?我就是希望肯定我可以legally工作.
2.我是不是需要在加拿大申请self-employment呢?

希望有这方面经验的朋友给我些建议.谢谢了!

如果你原来是H1b，应该还是按照原来的方式报税吧？ -zhihaoxx()(); 2007-5-10 (#3666869@0)

Thank you for your comment. But it may not be that way. My employment with the current company will be terminated soon. Once it is terminated, my H1-B will be invalid right away. -hahaboboxixi(怎么就那么馋呢?); 2007-5-10 (#3666874@0)

if u r not to be in US in person, it can setup a corperation to corperation relationship. u don't need visa. -647i(流浪的步行万里); 2007-5-10 (#3666870@0)

Thank you very much! This is such a relationship I am expecting. (business to business). -hahaboboxixi(怎么就那么馋呢?); 2007-5-10 {166} (#3666882@0)
My concern is: I may apply for another US visa (e.g. F visa) in the future. I just don't want the whole thing to have any side effect for my future visa application.

the "coperation" need to be registered in .....downtown somewhere... spadia. then prepare your own paycheck and source deduct to cra by TOD which is downloadable from cra...... -647i(流浪的步行万里); 2007-5-10 (#3666895@0)
never have a visa, no experience. -647i(流浪的步行万里); 2007-5-10 (#3666898@0)

Thank you so much! 647 So do I have to register a coorperation? Can I just work as self-employed? -hahaboboxixi(怎么就那么馋呢?); 2007-5-10 (#3666913@0)

if it is corp-to-corp, u have to have a corperation (inc, co,ltd... are the same thing), that's only way to remove "individual" from the business relationship. -647i(流浪的步行万里); 2007-5-10 (#3666943@0)

and if it is corp-to-corp, your name is hidden in the paper work,(ur name still appear in the relateionship as candadian work and the company director) -647i(流浪的步行万里); 2007-5-10 (#3666921@0)

Thank you very much! My point is: will registering for a coorperation be a must? Can I register as a self-employment? -hahaboboxixi(怎么就那么馋呢?); 2007-5-10 (#3666946@0)

如果你不想incorp，self employed不用登记，因为美国公司不给你交gst，给cra报税的时候就报你deduct以后的收入 -zhihaoxx()(); 2007-5-10 (#3666991@0)

Thank you so much! And I don't need any kind of US Visa or permit to do so, right? -hahaboboxixi(怎么就那么馋呢?); 2007-5-10 (#3667000@0)

你在加拿大工作，谁管你？不过你要跟公司说清楚，让他们不要withhold tax -zhihaoxx()(); 2007-5-10 (#3667033@0)

Yes. That is my expectation. So no withheld tax, social security and medical care, right? -hahaboboxixi(怎么就那么馋呢?); 2007-5-10 (#3667074@0)
如果对方一定要WITHHOLD呢? -gugu(GuGu); 2007-5-10 (#3667249@0)

what kind of tax? -647i(流浪的步行万里); 2007-5-10 (#3667311@0)
如果有withhold,那就是employment的关系了把？ -cranberry_bear(果丹皮); 2007-5-10 (#3667494@0)

if it is corp-2-corp. no employee related tax withhold, i guess. In canada, payroll source deduct is one of the "withhold" for employee, which doesn't apply to corp-2-corp relationship -647i(流浪的步行万里); 2007-5-10 (#3667550@0)
