Hello:
I am currently on a H-1b in the US and completed the landing process for Canada about a year ago. I am aware that the CIC website mentions that your time outside of Canada is counted if your employer in Canada sends you to US for work assignment. I have the following questions:
1. Has anyone done this and were they successful in establishing a residence/proof in Canada and then working in US to count that time towards Canada residency requirements?
2. What status would you be working on? H1b? B1/B2?
3. Does the Canada office need to be the main headquarters?
4. Is your paystub generated in Canada or US? If in Canada then H1b status wont be applicable and it would only be B1/B2?
5. Is there any impact on your current approved I140? Green card is for the future so technically there should not be any impact
What other factors to consider?
Thanks
