I am a CDN management consultant. I have TN1 visa. This is my 1st week of work and paperwork is still not locked down. I am employed by a placement agency providing my services to a client / customer. I am currently in USA for Orientation and realted. I will only be in the USA for 1-2 days a week for the duration of my contract. Otherwise I am in Canada doing to bulk of work in home office . My employer appears to have little experience with handling this situation so I am having to dig to get answers. What paperwork do I need completed and where does it get sent?
Do I just fill in a w-9 while I wait for some documentation to arrive related to SSN?
How do I get a SSN from states? What are my considerations?
Is an ITIN what I need?
It appears I cant get paid until this is sorted
