Recently I have got an offer from a Canadian company to work in USA for their US office. If I join them (in USA)will the time I spent counted as if I stayed in Canada?

You can also count Canadian residency days if you are outside Canada for an extended period of time for one of the following reasons:
You are accompanying your Canadian-citizen spouse or common-law partner.
You are a child accompanying a Canadian-citizen parent.
You are employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business, the Public Service of Canada or the public service of a Canadian province.
