1. This idea sounds like a trouble. I dont think you can work this out as both sides will ask how you try to work 2 jobs in 2 countries(it wont be a problem if you hold citizenships of both countries but on visa/PR its hell).
Is it part time in Windsor? Or you just trying to maintain residency for which you are finding way?

Do it other way around, stay in Windsor and travel to US on a daily basis using H1B. You will satisfy Canadian residency requirements while being able to hold your US job. Search on forum as many people seem to do this without much issue.
