> I don't see why it would be an issue for Canada or the country of origin, even if you do it repeatedly year over year
Unless you're intimately aware of the intersection of tax and immigration law between Canada and every other country on the planet, that's a rash statement to make.
> Letting your employee be out of the country for 3-6 months every year on a tourist visa is a lot different from actually getting incorporated in that country and paying income taxes there.
Except that the company's responsibilities may extend far beyond just incorporating and paying income taxes. Every country's tax system is different and weird.
Companies don't require their employees to tell them their real address just to be mean, or to prevent labor arbitrage. They have genuine, legal reasons to do this.
