I did not use my H1 at all so there were no issues.They want to see ties to Canada.

You can state that you are based off home-office in Canada and the H1 is to meet the legal immigration requirements of the US employer. Get a letter from your employer about your home office. That should reinforce your case.
In addition, bring proof of home ownership and/or rental agreements for all the years you have lived in Canada along with utility bills, vehicle ownership, etc.
If you and your family entered and stayed for few days in the US in the past years, that time period should be declared as absence. Hence having US entry stamps should not be an issue.

-- You do not need H1 (or any other work permit) to work for a US employer from Canada (if you are a cdn citizen or a PR of Canada).

I don't. I am happy in Canada. Apparantly, the other poster does
No, seriously, out of curiosity, how do you legally draw a US paycheck without legal work documents, telecommuting or otherwise? I understand working for a US employer (based in other countries), but drawing US paycheck?

When I said "you", I was talking in general (third person) - not directed for you.
What I was saying is, you can draw a US paycheck while residing in (and working from) Canada and working for a US based employer. The US work visa is required only to work on US soil.

Hi Abbay,
Did u appear for citizenship test ?
I have heard a list is sent to all having H1 on the passport. You need to provide details of last 3 years of ur doctor visit, kids education record, immunization record, bank statement etc.
Is it true /
Thanks,
junior
