Hey everyone.

I am new here and this is my first post. I am a slightly weird situation. I have an open work permit but I haven't been able to go to Canada because of the Covid situation. Recently i got a job offer from a Canadian organization and they are fine with me working from India.

Could somebody help me to understand if this kind of an arrangement works and if it does, how does it work in terms of salary, taxation, SIN among other things.

Thanks

I am currently working remotely for a Canadian company from Nigeria. I have a closed work permit but since we have been waiting for long, they gave me a different contract as an Independent Contractor, while my work permit is being processed.

Thank you. That was helpful. A few a queries, "have you travelled to Canada'' as a pre-requisite for this job offer. And how does the salary work. Does your company follow the Canadian standard or are the local standards applied? How about taxes? And are you planning to move to Canada? Does this job count as Canadian job experience? Do you have a SIN?

I have never been to Canada. I got the job from Nigeria. They transfer my salary direct to my Nigerian bank account. I am paid at Canadian rate. The same salary I would have been getting if i was in Canada. This job does not count as Canadian work experience until I actually start doing it in Canada. I do not have a SIN. You can only get a SIN when you get your work permit in Canada.
