Something I read today concerned me.

When you land and then return to the UK, are you allowed to work for a UK company or must it be a Canadian one???

I won't have my PR card at that point and so will need a Travel document, but the instructions on completing the TD indicate that you can only work for a Canadian company after you have landed.

Can anyone shed any light on this??

If you carry on working as normal, does this mean you cannot return to Canada??

Thanks.

You can work for whoever you like.
However, to retain your PR status you must live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 years. If you're employed by a Canadian company, but working overseas, then this counts as "living in Canada".

Thanks Rob_999 for pointing that out.

Maybe its just me, but its amazing how those Guidance notes can be interpreted in so many different ways!

I Landed in April 2008 with no Intention of staying in canada, after two weeks I returned and continued work with ym UK company.
I managed to sort out jobs in canada and moved to calgary in Oct 2008.

As already mentioned as long as you fulfil the 2 out of 5 yrs criteria, in order to keep PR status,you can work for whom and where you like
