Absolutely.... there´s no way a Canadian company can put you on their payroll. Either they set up a company in the UK and they employ you through that or you set up your own company and bill them in Canada. It sounds like you will be self-employed.

In any case even in the UK for the first year you have no employment rights and can be made redundant for any reason, improves a bit in the second year but you don't get any redundancy pay. Take the contract, go umbrella as you'll be IR35 caught if you are a perm employee.
Also, AFAIK, many umbrella companies will not invoice foreign companies (perhaps others can confirm?).

(*) Not necessarily "in" Canada, but working for a Canadian company.

The company in question is in Canada and they are very large in my sector. They have shown they wish to employ me, but as they do not have an official office in the UK yet, they would have to put me on a contract; even though I am permanent staff. If there was an office in the UK then they could legally fully employ me.
Does anybody have any knowledge no this or is it treated as being on a normal contact? I am a little dubious as I have heard horror stories at the way in which US, and Canada hire fire people at will.
Is there some information on the web that would help.
