New to Canada . In the US I was a full time employee of a company.
In canada what is the best way ? the company here would allow to be either a full time or contractor.

What are the advantages/disadv. If im making 80k which is more advantageous ?

Any help is appreciated

What do you do?

Im a software engineer

dbd33 is probably your best source of advice, then.

I understand the tax rules are as follows.

If you want to opeate as a business and expense your operating costs(computer, home office, travel etc.) then you must have more than one client otherwise you're an employee.
