Hello to all. I'm new to this concept so please bear with me. I live in Mexico and have been working for a multinational consulting firm for almost 20 years. My wife is a University researcher and wants to take a one-year sabbatical in Canada to develop new skills, which involves moving the whole family. I work by means of email only so I could theoretically do so in Canada while still receiving my salary from Mexico, but am a little concerned about potential tax/immigration issues, even though I would not be actually "earning" any money in Canada. Does anyone know if, for example, I would require a work visa or need to declare my Mexican income on a global basis??
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

Hi, and welcome to BE.

Whether or not you can work will depend on a number of things, including your wife's visa status - what visa will she be on?

Best thing to do is give a bit more info in the Canada forums and the good folks there will try and help.

Best of luck.
