Working online for UK co while in Canada
I am currently in Canada without a visa, or rather with a temp resident visa/tourist visa for 6 months.
My boyfriend is a PR and we were planning to look at options for me to find an LMO job when I got here but I see its going to be harder than we thought.
I am over 35 and am not on the skilled list. I clearly cant work without a work permit.
BUT can I do remote work for a UK based company if I am paid in the UK? I am a PA so was thinking of doing virtual PA work. But am not sure on the rules for this.
Thank you!
