# Work Permit Tax Obligations: Resident vs Non-Resident. When you hold a Canadian work permit, your tax obligations depend entirely on your residency status for tax purposes—not your immigration status. Canada operates on a residence-based tax system, meaning your tax obligations are determined by where the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) considers you to reside, not simply where you hold citizenship or work authorization. As a work permit holder, you could be classified as either a Canadian resident or non-resident for tax purposes, and this classification fundamentally changes what income you must report and which benefits you can claim. **What this means for you:** Your work permit gives you the right to work in Canada, but it doesn’t automatically determine your tax status. You’re deemed a Canadian resident if you stay in Canada for 183 days or more in any tax year, even if your primary ties remain elsewhere.

As a US citizen, you're taxed on your worldwide income. So the income you make in Canada is (potentially, more on that later) taxable by the US.

**In Canada your income tax obligations are based on your residency status, not on your citizenship or immigration status.** If you have entered Canada to work temporarily, you are responsible for determining your residency status and understanding your tax obligations. You are subject to Canadian and provincial/territorial tax on your worldwide income during the part of the year that you were a factual resident. 2. **Deemed resident:** You were in **Canada for 183 days or more** in a calendar year, but **you do not have significant residential ties to Canada**. Since you are not considered a resident of a province or territory for income tax purposes, you are subject to a federal surtax instead of provincial/territorial tax. 4. **Deemed non-resident:** You would otherwise be considered a factual or deemed resident but **you are considered to be a resident of another country under an income tax treaty between Canada and that country.** You are subject to Canadian tax on your income from Canadian sources, unless exempted by a treaty provision.

# Can I work remotely for a company anywhere in or outside of Canada? As a result of the pandemic and technology making it easier to work from home, we have seen a rise in remote work opportunities. These are some things to think about if you're considering doing remote work outside of Ontario. Working remotely for a company in another province or country can get complicated at tax time. If you earn income in Canada, you must pay taxes on it. How you pay your taxes depends on whether you’re hired as an employee or a self-employed contractor (work independently). As an employee working for a Canadian company, you will be taxed based on the rules of the employer’s home province. You are responsible for obtaining and filling out a General T1 Form to file your taxes with the requirements of the location of your primary residence. You must report your income in Canadian dollars if you are working for a company outside of Canada.

Key considerations for determining where a foreign resident will pay taxes while they are based in Canada include tax residency, Canadian tax liability, and tax compliance. An individual can be classified as a resident or non-resident of Canada for the purpose of income tax under three different tests: a common law test, a statutory test, or a bilateral tax treaty. If an individual is considered a Canadian resident under either the common law or statutory test, they would be considered a resident of Canada unless the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty deem them to be resident of another country. If an individual who is not ordinarily resident in Canada under common law sojourns in Canada for 183 days or more during a calendar year, they are deemed to be a resident of Canada for that year.2 When someone is deemed a resident under this paragraph, they are typically not considered a resident of any specific province for provincial income tax purposes, but only for federal income tax and surtax.
