So then from an HR perspective you would have to be legally allowed to work in the US to be hired by the US office and receive the higher wage.

I think that's exactly it.

Also, if your taxes and deductions are going to be made to a State or Federal government then you aren't contributing to Canada. You're not contributing to our health care system and social programs. So, basically, you'd be the guy on Canada's couch who contributes nothing to the household.
Make no mistake. You are trying to cheat the system. You are trying to get an advantage in order to make financial gains. Stop trying to justify it to everyone by going "it might not be illegal, guys". Legality and ethics do not always match perfectly.

I think that's pretty brutal to read into what I've been saying and coming up with that interpretation but alas you're open to have your opinion.
Basically I'm looking for something that's the most financial lucrative opportunity for myself while being legal. So call that whatever you feel like I guess.
I know people in this thread have brought up taxes a lot and maybe that's showing my naivety on the subject, but I'm completely willing/expecting to pay the higher of two taxes as again I assume I'd be subject to Canadian taxes and have to go through some paperwork to demonstrate to the US (and Canada) that I'm paying taxes. Not sure what you're going off about sitting in Canada and not contributing to anything here but I guess it's nice to assume things like my intentions, it's certainly easier that way for sure.
For everyone else who has weighed in though, I really do appreciate your thoughts and advice (and past experience).
