Canadian making money with adsense

A United States H1b visa holder with a Canada green card. Can he/she make money using AdSense on his/her own website if he/she uses a Canadian bank account to register with AdSense and receive money? Basically, can he/she do online business (using Canadian identities and bank accounts) as an Canada green card holder while physically working in the US as H1b? Thank you.

>>Well Canada does not issue green cards, so I'll assume you mean permanent resident card.

Actually doesn't matter. Your H1B allows you to work for one employer. While you reside in the USA, you can invest money in a business or separate entity, however you are not allowed to work and earn income related to work for that business/entity unless you obtain a separate H1B for that business.

So in other words, you are allowed to have investment income, but not employment income, no matter where the business is located, including online.

I'm not familiar with AdSense so you would have to make your own determination as to whether this would be considered employment income or not (ie. income for work, or services rendered).


>> Yes, by "Canada green card" I meant the "permanent resident card" or "maple card".
