I established my little business when I moved to live permanently in Canada. I now got offer for $15 an hour for 8 months. It is temp contract. In terms of statutory deductions including federal and provincial tax, what is more tax effective, to sign the contract in my practice name (sole proprietor) or to sign as an employee.
I appreciate your thoughts as I am brand new in Canada i.e. my first ever offer.

I cannot tell if it is easier as I don't know your country. otherwise in general terms, it is easy and is down to you.

There is nothing easy coming to another country. No one is waiting for you here in Canada. You have to work hard and prove yourself being better than your competition. Good luck.

My current company is not in my origin country, i have come here and work hard, and after a year is getting good results. I know nothing is easy. I just ask for the documents and bureaucratic part.

Thanks, good enough. As where i am living now (China) i am sure is much more difficult than there. At least for register and bureaucratic stuff.
