Hello – My name is ***** ***** I’m happy to assist you today. I am a Canadian lawyer who is able to answer immigration law questions.
Can you tell me more about your question ?
JJL11, Expert
Do you have a work permit in Canada or just a visitor visa ? Can you describe what services you provide your clients in Canada ?
JJL11, Expert
'Work" as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of Canada means an activity for which wages are paid or commission is earned, or that is in direct competition with the activities of Canadian citizens or permanent residents in the Canadian labour market.
Therefore, if you are engaged in an activity which you are being paid wages for services provided to Canadians, you are working and as a visitor, you should not refrain from working for Canadian clients. For your global clients, remote services could arguably be viewed as not being'work' in that you are being paid wages abroad for clients who are not Canadian.
Hope this provides clarification

I meant you should refrain - Sorry for the confusion.
