Thanks for your reply! I'll leave a reply here for others who may find it useful. I have spoken to a accredited tax consultant and he's helped me get me started - Sole Proprietorship operating under my own legal name - allowed under the conditions of my OWP (Spouse) .No need for spending...

Bump !

Hi , It is unfortunate no one replied on the forum to you. What did you end up doing?

max101, Thanks for sharing your insight on this. My situation is pretty similar with me working from home in Canada for a foreign client over the internet. I'm on an Open Work Permit (spouse) with my wife being the principal applicant. I have about 9 years experience in Computer games...

Bump! This is a relevant question to a lot of us. Will be obliged if people can share their insight. Thanks!!

Which begs the question - why would any business pay more for the same skill level? Could this be performance based, which I dare say has little to do with nationality or ethnicity. Depends person to person. I can certainly say that for skilled workers ( such as scientists / engineers) this...

Wishing those effected the best:( I wonder if this is linked with the unfortunate incidences of the waitresses losing jobs to foreign workers in Saskatchewan. I think the unalienable right to employment (skilled/unskilled) is to citizens first. That is how most countries look at it. It...

Hi folks, This is my first second post :) I'm currently based in Ontario, Canada since March 2014 on an Open Work Permit (Spouse). My wife was the principal work permit applicant with a job. I'm looking for a job. My work permit specifies : BOUNDED: NO EMPLOYER: ANY EMPLOYER OCCUPATION...
