Hi Peter,

Thanks for doing this again. Is a work authorization visa (TN H1B etc) required to be hired for a remote US position for a Canadian not looking to relocate just yet.

Thanks

No. US immigration only comes into play if one will be physically in the US.

From a legal/immigration standpoint, do you have a clue as to why many companies only mention that a remote position is US only?

Companies will have to setup a local entity in your country of residence to pay you.
