Hello,

Anybody knows any IT consulting company that would do a temp WP for me so I can come to Canada, find myself a contract to work on and company will take a cut and pay me the rest? (I actually already have such contract) There are some companies that do that in US and looking for same deal in Canada.

Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks!

You can do it in the US, but you can't do it in Canada on a work permit.

Dear PMM, what do you mean? What I cannot do in Canada? I can work on WP for Canadian company, right? Can an IT consulting company hire temp worker to work on one project, and when project is over just reassign him/her to next one?
Please clarify.

Nope, you have to employed by the employer for whom you work. You can't be a contract worker on a work permit.

Dear PMM, but I will not be a contract worker, I'll be employed by company A, and company A may subcontract me to company B, but I'll still be working and be paid by company A. Does this schema illegal for person on WP?
