Working Remotely in USA for Canadian Company

Hi,

I am a Canadian citizen, currently living in Canada working for a Canadian company. My husband is an American citizen and we are planning on applying for my green card but before we do I want to get a bit more information about what my work situation might look like.

Ideally I'd be able to work in the US remotely for my current employer, paid in CAD through a Canadian bank, but I want to know if there are any roadblocks to that before I proceed, assuming my green card gets approved. Two questions:
- Would I be subject to double taxation (Canadian and US taxes)?
- Would my employer have to do anything differently? (I'm hoping the answer to this one is No)

I have yet to discuss this with my employer but want to be able to answer questions they may have.

If anyone has been through this or knows the process please let me know.

Thank you
