I have applied for PGWP from outside Canada and waiiting for approval. Meanwhile, can I start working for a Canadian company from my home country if the job is remote?

Sure - you can certainly do that provided the company is OK with you working from outside of Canada.

hi, i thought you could only work for a canada based company if you are waiting for the pgwp while you’re in the country. Are you sure you can work even if you’re outside? How long is your SIN valid for?

The company is okay. And I can handle for tax consequences, if any. My SIN number expired with my study permit back in September 2020. And I haven't updated/extended it yet. Can I go back to Canada, after receiving my PGWP and then update/ extend/ renew my SIN?
