Hello,
I've been working for the same client for the past 5 years (EVC model) . My I-140 has been approved and current H1b is valid till sep 2021. I am applying for a Canadian PR ( as a dependent Spouse ) . I am thinking of working remotely from Canada three weeks out of a given month while on H1B (With one week of onsite visit).
I spoke to my company's HR department about the possibility of me working remotely from Canada , and they said they don't see too many problems as long as the client agrees. I also talked to my company's attorney, he said it can certainly be done ( It was a quick 3 min conversation and he didn't sound so sure ) . So , I was wondering if anyone had actually done it or currently doing it (as opposed to the daily commute I see most people doing) and if yes, I would greatly appreciate it, if you can share your experiences (especially the questions you get during border crossing from Canada to USA for work).

Also, a few more things to give you a background :
I live 6 hours (drive) away from the closest Canadian Border and the client allows network traffic only from US and Canada. My payroll would still be run under NY state and I will be maintaining a residence in NY. I understand I will have to file taxes both as a US and Canadian resident .
