Regarding work permits

[Prabraj]

hello I am international student studying in Canada, I have a remote job on a contract basis, for a US based company. Also I have an offer to work part time for a canadian company. Please help me with this.
as I am working for a company that is not in Canada, that 20 hours work permit does not apply for this am I correct?
And as that does not apply, I can work for 20 hours for the canadian company as part time?
Please help me with this.

As long as the US company has no Canadian offices, clients or contracts, you can work more than 20 hours.

Thanks a ton … that US company is not here in canada. But they will pay to my Canadian bank account and the part time that I got here also pay to my Canadian bank account. Will that cause any issues ?

Just because US company is not in Canada is not the only issue. Does employer have any Canadian clients/customers/suppliers? You will need to declare worldwide income.

Yep, you're right. The 20-hour work limit for international students in Canada only applies to jobs within Canada. Since your remote job is for a US-based company, it doesn't count towards those hours.

Not necessarily true. If US company has Canadian clients/customers/office then it is not eligible.
