Cana Work Permit : Working for US Client as Consultant

[Canada4me2]

Hi,

Need advise on the below situation.

I am currently on L1B visa working in USA for my employer (X1) serving an end client (Y) . My current employer (X1) also has an office in Canada. Since my Visa is going to Max out this year, my company plans to transfer me to the canadian branch (X2) on the payroll of Canadian branch on a work permit for 1 year.

Can I, while staying in Canada, remotely work for the same end client (Y) based in USA as a consultant while being on a work permit and payroll of Canadian branch.
Can I come back to USA 1 year later on 1 H1B visa and get 6 years period since I would have been out of USA for 1 year although not in my home country ?

Any suggestions on this would be very helpful.

Thanks!
