Hi there,
This is my first post on this forum, though I came here a *LOT* during my TWP application process for help and everyone here seems really helpful and clued up.
I now have a temporary work permit for one year obtained through GoInternational, and it is an open work permit - I arrive in two weeks, I'm super excited!
My situation is this: I have a full-time job at a web marketing company here (Cape Town, South Africa) and they would like me to continue working for them as a freelancer while I am there. The plan is for them to pay me +/- $1200 a month for my work, (which is around R10 000) into a South African bank account. However, they also hope for me to (via targeted online advertising) sell websites to Canadians, and essentially act as a salesman/go-between for the people who do the work back in South Africa and the clients in Canada. I would make extra commission off any sales I can make in this way. Would I be required to register a Canadian business, or pay Canadian tax? Apologies if this is a stupid question - this is new territory for me!
Thanks very much for any help that you can provide.
