If you have a job that doesn't require your physical attendance that pays you to an American bank account by a registered American business in American currency (or any other country), do you still need a work permit to perform that work in Canada?
For example, if you are an independent contractor for a design firm and get paid for digital designs done on a computer that can be emailed to your employer, do you need a work permit from Canada to do that work while you are visiting?
Sorry if my question is too elaborate to be clear.

As long as you are not dealing with any Canadians you are ok. That is all your employers, customers etc are non Canadians and not on Canadian soil
