Have a question about canadian PR and working in the us for a canadian company. I am already working in US for an

Hello - My name is ***** ***** I'm happy to assist you today. I am a Canadian lawyer who can answer immigration law questions.

Have you submitted a PR application yet and do you still have a Canadian job offer ?

I see - So to clarify, you have received the Confirmation of Permanent Residence document but would like to start working for a Canadian employer before coming to the Canada to be officially landed as PR - is that correct ?

And, what is the time gap between working for the Canadian employer and the date you plan to come to Canada to live ?

I understand now - Yes, you can leave Canada after you get your PR and work in the US for your current company and still retain your PR status if you live in Canada at least 2 years out of the past 5 years. This 5 years is calculated on a rolling basis so whenever you re-enter Canada, you look back 5 years to calculate if you have the two years or back to the date of your landing if it is less than 5 years.

Does this answer your question ?

Yes, you can do this . Once you are landed, you can start working legally for a Canadian employer even if you are not living in Canada.

Did you have any other questions for me ?
