Hi,
I am moving to Vancouver, BC soon, I currently live in Ontario and work remotely, my employer has a physical presence and office in Vancouver, BC. The position is fully remote, although the signed offer letter has the Ontario office address since I lived in Ontario when the offer letter was issued. I am aware I would need to provide a signed offer letter, will this be an issue?
My manager is willing to have my office location updated to be BC, but the position will still be remote.
I would be living and paying taxes in BC, even my payroll would be done through BC.
Quoting from the Guide, my employer is extra-provincially registered within BC and has a physical presence and an office, where other employees work from.

Your employer must be established, and have a physical presence, in B.C. For the purposes of the BC PNP, this means that your employer has an ongoing fixed place of business in B.C., such as an office, where employees can physically report to work on a regular basis.
6.3 Business Structure
Your employer must have one of the following business structures:
My concern is, that I originally got this job in Ontario, and has an Ontario office address on it, I don't think, the offer letter can be provided with a new office address, Will I still be eligible for PNP in BC given that my employer does satisfy the requirements above. Since the position is remote and the employer has a global presence, including offices and payroll in BC, will it be an issue?
Thank you for reading this so far, your help is appreciated.
