Hi All,

I am planning to convince my US employer to let me work from Canada. I wanted to know what arrangements you guys have made with your employer. Did you guys just update your address to Canadian one in your payroll and taxes are getting deducted as per your employer's location or do you guys maintain an address in the US or something like that. Could you let me know?

Thanks very much in advance :)
 
I am maintaing a local address and getting pay roll deductions,
 
I travel once in a while ( once in a month ) and have never been questioned at border.

not all employers allow Canadian address to be updated in their payroll system. Most systems would be configured to allow only US addresses. try to visit the section where you update your address and see if your employer is allowing to have a different country in it in first place.

Moreover it is not as simple as updating the address and strong that text.. your employer's tax system needs to support this and they should have configured rules to address outside US scenario. trying to update it would give you more headache than doing any good. I strongly suggest leaving the payroll address as it is and take care of your taxes during end of the year.
