This is a payroll/tax issue. Many employers in these situations use an Employer of Record, such as Deel, to employ U.S. citizens living and working abroad but you also could be employed directly as a W-2 employee.
- infinite8s 2y agoWorking as a W2 employee from Canada would likely cause tax and filing headaches with the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA), although the salary differential between US/Canada might make this worth it (you just have to be careful). You may also have cashflow issues come tax-time as you will have a large tax Canadian tax burden at the end of the year since your employer would have only withheld/remitted to the IRS, so you would need to file a US return to get back all the income tax that was withheld by your employer. Disclaimer - not a lawyer but also went through this process, in the end my employer decided to switch me to a contractor.
