PLZ HELP!! Can I do my job over internet ?

[visaisavisa]

I live in Edmonton. Recently I have been able to find a job in Vancouver involving financial and marketing analysis and statistical research. Because the actual work can be completed on my own, the employer say I can go to Vancouver or work in my home at Edmonton. Of course, I wish not to move. But I am going to apply for CEC, and I wonder if working at home full time will impede my chance to apply for Canadian experience class immigration? (because the authority may find it "suspicious" or something?)

Thanks for the help guys I really have to decide it in a couple of days. Please help!!

You should be fine if:
-this is a Canadian company;
-you receive bi-weekly paycheque and you have your paystubs
-you pay taxes on your cheques.
-the job is skilled level 0, A, B

I'm not as confident as rosty - I think you are right to have reservations. I can't find anything that excludes this, but I think it goes against the "intent" of the rules. I would suggest at a minimum, calling CIC (but they probably won't be able to answer you). Perhaps a consultation with immigration lawyer would be in order....

Thank you for the valuable comments!
Indeed, I am kind of uncertain about this myself. Do you have any experience with immigration lawyers? I mean, can I go to them just for this specific question, and how much are they likely to charge..?

No, none - I imagine most would do a brief consultation for around $100. Some will try to force you into hiring them to be your representative - move on. You might consider Campbell Cohen (the sponsor of this discussion board).
