    U.S. non resident alien allowed to work for an employer in Canada?
    Hi!

    I am desesperately trying to find an answer to my question.

    I am a Canadian that just moved to the United States for my husband's work. I am a non resident alien that will meet the criteria of the substantial presence test at the end of the year. I am not allowed to work in the United States for now.

    I would like to know if I can continue working for my employer in Canada or as a freelancer for my employer in Canada.

    My husband has a TN visa, so I am a TD (TN dependent). He just applied for a H1-B.
