How can I get paid in Canada when working remotely for a company in Sweden?

It is possible to get paid in Canada while working for a company in Sweden but it will require some work on your end.

There are two ways to get paid in Canada while working for a company in Sweden:
Make sure you have an international bank account that is linked to your Canadian bank account. This way, you can receive money from your Swedish company.
Make sure your Swedish company is registered in Canada.

If you are working for a company in Sweden, then you will have to make sure you have an international bank account that is linked to your Canadian bank account. This is because your Swedish company will be receiving money from your Canadian company and you will need to make sure you have access to that money.
For example, if your Canadian company is called “VirtueMart” and your Swedish company is called “Nordic Design Studio”, then you will need to have an international bank account called “VirtueMart Nordic Design Studio”.
You can then link this international bank account to your Canadian bank account and receive money from your Swedish company.
This international bank account will need to be set up before you start working for your Swedish company. It is possible to set this up through a bank that is based in Sweden but you will need to speak to them to make sure they will allow you to set up this international bank account.
