Travel to US for work from Canada

[prats_k]

I got COPR and I will be moving to Canada from India in March. My company has an office in US and asked if I will be able to travel there 3 times a week.

How easy is it to get a visa for US from Canada? Do I need to wait till I get the PR card? My company was also asking if it was possible to work remotely for the Indian branch till the time I can start working for the US office.

Do you have a visa to work in the US?

No. I was thinking of applying for visa once I get the PR card.

So if you do not get approval to work at all in the US other than occasional business meetings through a B1/B2 visa do you have a plan B ? No issue as a PR working in Canada remotely whether for India or US office.

By three times a week are you planning to live near the border and commute each day or would this be a 3 day trip keeping in mind you still need to meet the Canada residency obligation..

Visa is far from guaranteed. If you are going to the US office 3 times a week you are essentially asking to work in the US while living in Canada.
