Hi there,
I am an international post-graduate student in Toronto.
During my study here (roughly 1.5 years), I would like to work remotely for my employer in home country.
I find the following information from your website:
"According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), you can work here remotely as a visitor without a work permit for extended periods provided that: - You work for a non-Canadian company that offers business services outside of Canada. - The employer pays you outside of Canada. - The non-Canadian company has no Canadian operations, branches, or services offered here."
I can confirm my job fulfills all three criteria mentined above.
But will my international student status make me ineligible to work remotely for my home country employer?
Also, how long may that "extended periods" be?
Would appreciate your advice. Thank you
