work remotely for an US firm while on study permit in Canada

[velsina]

I’m a fall intake student, will be coming to Canada in Sept 2021

My current employer has offered me a part-time position to work remotely from Canada while I study. It’s a US-based company that has no presence in Canada, can I work for them as a part-time employee while I'm on a study permit? Can they pay directly in my Canadian bank account.
will there be any legal implications? will this arrangement affect my study permit?

Yes - you're fine to do that.

No legal implications. No impact to your study permit.

When you file taxes in Canada, you'll need to make sure you declare your worldwide income (which will include what you eared working remotely for the US employer).

I can't comment on payroll services / mediator companies.

do you think it's better to get money in your home country account and then file taxes there or will i have to file taxes in my canadian account?

How can you work for a US-based company without a work permit? unless it's a freelance work.
