B1/B2 holder temporarily working from USA for Canadian company

[Ronak20]

Hi,

I am Indian passport holder having Canadian work permit working in Canada for a software company.
I have USA B1/B2 visa.

Can I temporarily work from USA for my company in Canada?

Legally, you cannot work in, or work from the US. B1/B2 visa is for short visits, tourism, etc. Canadian work permit holders should work in\from Canada.

I think you want to work for your current company, but from USA. Something you'll be doing is called work when you get paid for that in USA.

So if you are visiting USA for tourism & carrying your Canadian laptop & helping them for any emergency, but not getting paid for that - you should be fine.

Even if you are getting allowance (not salary) for working from USA on B1 it is fine - mainly like meeting your canadian company's client etc.
