No, I worked for several US Universities while in Canada. You just invoice the University and then you are responsible to declare the income in Canada.

However, most US schools have changed a hiring policy since Trump's presidency, most require a SSN number to apply. This would require for a Canadian to get a work permit. It is very difficult to teach online and get a work permit while in Canada, the immigration official is going to have a hard time granting you a Visa if you are working remotely as you have no address in the US.

The other issue is that you would need to get a different Visa for a different employer.

It is really a headache, the other issue is that online faculty positions at the US actually pay way lower than in Canada. A Canadian course at a University pays around 10K CAN while the same course pays 2K US in the US. There is no incentive for someone to do this unless they have no work in Canada but maybe would be better just to move to the US if your intention is to work there and just get a full time gig.

That is good news for me; probably don't have the academic chops to compete in Canada but maybe in the US. I am a US citizen, so the SSN is not a problem... Canada is FAR from perfect but one may argue that it does offer a better quality of life than the US in it's current form :-(
