I wouldn't get my hopes up, you want to come here and still work for your current US employer? What does Canada have to gain from that? You're not coming to fill a gap for us, you want to move to reap the benefits without any direct involvement.
I mean OP would be paying taxes here and spending money in our economy, while not taking an existing job. That's pretty good.
Or taking one place in the annual quota for someone that would come here to work in a field where we need people, like healthcare.
That doesn't really count on a citizenship application, though.
This seems to be a non sequitur. OP is asking about where to live not where to find employment.
There are visas under the free trade agreement with the US and Mexico that enable movement of employees between the three countries. These have been in place since the 1990s.
I don not get this response. OP wants to come build a life in Canada. Sounds like direct involvement. Also wants to bring their $120k annual income which will get injected into the Canadian economy. Sounds ok to me.
So anyone who wants to come build a life im Canada is welcome? Or is it as long as they have money?
Their income comes from a job that doesn't benefit Canadians and we have immigration quotas. Anytime an immigrant comes to Canada to work remotely for a foreign company they're taking the place of someone that could come here to work in a field where we need workforce.
