Hi guys,
I landed about 3 months ago as a Ontario PNP PR. I was sponsored by my company, and have been working for them for 2 years prior to getting my PR. Just shortly after my PR, the company announced that it had been sold to a competitor. I now officially work for this new company in the same capacity/same office etc...
Since this has created various redundancies, many people were laid-off. This has prompted me to look for employment elsewhere as it seems to be only a matter of time that I get asked to leave as well.
I have been offered a position at another Ontario based company, but here is the tricky part, they want me to work 50% in the US and 50% in Canada, i.e. I will spend time in the US at their US clients for 2 weeks each month. The details still need to be ironed out, but I will be paying tax in Canada, not the US.
I've done some reading and there is a chance that my time in the US can count towards my residency requirement (and citizenship requirement)? I am also concerned that the frequent travel, and the sudden job-hop after my PR might negatively affect future in Canada?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance
