T2200 - US employer issuing?

I have a client that works for an american company - he is in gta
he completed the T2200 and is having his american company sign
i am unable to find any information on the legitimcacy of american company signing?

I don’t see how that would be an issue and I would have never questioned it.

Would be interesting if anyone else thinks it is an issue.

Haven’t dealt with this for a number of years, but if they’re his employer and T4 him (which, if he’s resident in Canada they likely do), then there is no issue.

There’s no issue here. T2200’s are more related to the employee rather than the employer. There needs to be a legitimate reason for having one, yes… but the fact that the employer is a foreign entity is not something the CRA is concerned with. Many people take on employment through foreign entities and are required to pay for expenses out of their pocket, this is common knowledge, and frankly, is to be expected in these cases. CRA will only really look at the reasonability of your clients claims.

very helpful… thank you.
