Work for an American company, but live in Canada

Do I need a visa to work for an American company, but live in Canada? I am currently in the US with a J1 visa that is going to expire. I am thinking of proposing to my employer that I work from Canada (and visit on Business for meetings etc.)

The idea being that I can take classes in Canada to qualify for a TN or H1B in the future.

What would be the complications?

Thanks!

I don't see why you would need a nonimmigrant status for that, but when you come down for meetings you can get B-1 status, since the meetings are appropriate for that status.

I can still get B-1 Status even if I am being paid a salary by a US company? I thought that was not possible.

Will you physically be working in Canada or the US?

I used to work for a US company but at the Canadian division. I would occasionally have to go to the US for work (I was a Training Instructor)for one day to two week stints. I had to get an L1B visa. I was actually denied entry and told not to go again for any business purpose without an L1B.

You might want to look into that.

my question is....I will be working physically in the US, but am Canadian hopefully getting a TN Visa to work with, but want to fly back and forth from the US to Canada to work a couple days a month to keep my job here in Canada, but still work for the part time 6 months in the US is this going to be a problem with the border crossing and jeperdize my TN Visa??
Can anyone help
Thanks
