Staying in Canada as a Business Visitor

[Zehqir]

Hi,

I recently married my partner who is a Canadian citizen and we are in the process of getting together and submitting our spouse application for me for Canada. I am a British Citizen and was wondering the following, can I travel to Canada and spend time with my partner for a 3 months at a time as a Business Visitor? I wouldn't be taking any job from the Canadian Labour Force and would continue to work for my UK company remotely while staying in Canada. I wouldn't be stepping onsite to any Canadian business and the moment the application is approved I would be applying for the Canadian branch of my company as it's the same brand but seen as a separate entity.

With this in mind would I be correct in assuming that I wouldn't need a work permit as I won't be working for a Canadian company or taking away from the labour force?

Regards,

Zaq

I based my understanding on the 'Business Visitor' section on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/special-business.asp
