Can a US citizen work in Canada under a LLC without applying for a work visa


Can a US citizen work in Canada under a LLC without applying for a work visa?
I am a US citizen under a 1-person LLC, my own company. What procedure needs to be followed to be employed as a contractor in Canada under that LLC? Is this possible? And would this circumvent the est 3 year waiting period for a work visa? Many thanks, S

IF you are doing business with canadians then you must pay taxes in Canada so yes you DO need a work permit. What 3 years wait? There is NO 3 year wait for a work permit. IF you mean immigration then NO a Work permit will NOT circumvent the 3 years processing time. If you do wish to immigrate you will need to immigrate under the skilled worker category because your business does NOT fit the requirements for self employed. see links below
