Marketforce paying in Canadian funds?

April 25, 2016 04:12PM
I am new here, but have already learned so much. Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge.

I live in Canada and have done a couple shops around home for Market Force.
I am planning a trip to the States and was looking up shops there, which got me to thinking. Does MF pay in Canadian or US funds? I am wondering if my Canadian shops will be paid in US, or vice versa.
Does anyone know? I guess one way is to wait and find out, but it makes it less worthwhile if the US shop reimbursements are paid in Canadian funds.

Thanks all.

"You cannot apply for a work visa on your own without a job offer. You must first have a job offer from a U.S. employer who will sponsor you for a work visa." [canadiansinusa.com]

This gets complicated very fast. My understanding is that the questions from USCIS directed towards Canadians entering the US pale in comparison to the questions I (and other US citizens) are asked when entered Canada. I worked for a large multinational company with facilities in Canada. I was allowed to enter for "business meetings" and "business consultations" but could not be paid in any way by the Canadian entity. I could not conduct training, I could not analyze a sample in a lab, I could not install an electrical box in a company office. I gave a professional scientific talk at a University in Manitoba and spent hours explaining that I was not being paid, and that being reimbursed for travel expenses was not payment for work I was doing in Canada.

A few years ago the question of cross-border shopping was addressed by some of the MSPs. Several of them allowed it with 'proper documentation' and I don't know (never bothered finding out) what that might be. I would encourage you to contact the Market Force Help Desk and ask them your questions.

I know that Canadian shops with MFI are paid in CAN$ but CFI (under MFI also) shops in Canada are paid in US$ by mail. If you are authorized to shop in the US, I would presume that it would be paid in US$ if the shops are in the States. It is better to verify with them before hand.
