Hey everyone, This blog has been really helpful and I would appreciate your insights on the following questions.
1. Is working on H-1B in Seattle, WA on weekdays and spending weekends (3 days) in Vancouver, BC ok to meet residency obligations for Canada PR?
2. Has anyone applied for their Canada citizenship while commuting daily/weekly/weekends between US & Canada?
3. Do you keep your primary address in Canada and secondary in the US?
4. How can one maintain strong ties to Canada except for a bank account, phone number, DL, & a rental lease?

1. You need to do your math. Meeting RO is 730 days within rolling 5 years. To meet citizenship, you need 3 years.
The person will need to maintain to maintain a US address. Otherwise the company and the person will be soup at some time. Company, if caught - may have to heavy pentalties/fines (if the person doesnt have a valid US address. Second - if the person goes for a canada address, then the concept of H1b becomes invalid. Third - Company will have to some sort of taxes for using an overseas worker. Fourth - the person in question will be treated as Non resident in the US and will be taxed accordingly (30% flat). Fifth - the person will have to file taxes in both the US and Canada (ofcourse they can claim deduction based on what they file in each country).
Thanks for your revert! So this frequent travel between US - Canada to meet Canada PR RO is considered ok, correct?
Yes and no. But how do you accumulate 3 years if you work in US during the week and only come back to Canada on weekends?
This is a rolling 5 years and if you want to "use the days you had accumulated before you started working in US and was living mostly in Canada", you will be "losing those days" later on.
You will also need support from your employer and the issue with H1-B if you don't live in US.
So my employer is ok with amendment for any location in the 50 states (remote working) in the US. With my canada PR, I want to travel from canada to the US for work and then go back to canada to maintain my PR. Employer will be paying me in USD in my US bank account. In this case, there should be no problem right? I mean I understand that I am liable to pay tax in both countries which will be adjusted eventually with DTAA. My understanding from reading previous comments is - nexus is required for convenient cross border travel. Also, I own a home in the US (Georgia) so my employer can deduct state tax as per that address? Please suggest. Or do I need to lease something in the city where I want to work (buffalo or detroit)? In this case, does US consider you a resident if you work traveling to the US?
