Working from UK or Canada - job ideas needed
 

Hello,

I have been wondering if there are any companies which allow you to work remotely full time, regardless of where you live. I will be returning to Canada next year to be with my wife and family but my family are all in the UK. I would like the flexibility to be able to work in the UK and Canada for a few months at a time and was wondering if there are any companies or particular professions I should think about. I know this will cause all kinds of potential issues when it comes to taxes and residency, so I am assuming I would be best working as a self-employed person and paying taxes on my worldwide income in one country.

Ultimately I am trying to find the best way to balance me being with mine and my wife's family throughout the year.

Hi :) Yes, there are agencies (and companies) that you can freelance for remotely... working a few months in each country (physically) could cause a nightmare both tax wise and residency wise, I would suggest remote work would be the way to go. :)
What is it you do?

Hello, you seem to be the only one replying to my new messages these days, not that I'm complaining :tounge_smile:

Most of my career has been in IT Support but the last year or so has been in email marketing. Being in IT is probably my best bet to get a remote working job. My intention would be to go back to the UK perhaps for a couple months in the year and live in Canada most of the time. Working for a Canadian company seems to be the easiest way to do it as the 8 hour time difference would make it doable while I am in the UK, whereas working for a UK employer in Canada creates a big challenge with the time difference (I have done it before so know how hard it was). I guess as long as I don't stay in the UK for over 6 months in a tax/calendar year, I won't be deemed a resident.

Just trying to figure out which companies/agencies I can contact to make this happen.

You could start your search here: https://ca.indeed.com/Telecommuting,...,-Virtual-jobs
Depending on which Province you are moving to, it could be as little as 4 hours time difference to the UK.. so don't discount working for International companies.
:D
