I forgot about SIN number question in it. You just use your SIN to register your company or to ask for your GST number. So, you don't need to give your SIN number to anybody for your Independent Contract Job.

Buddy, your case should be treated as "permanent' job. I do not think you had registed your own company (Inc., Partner, Sole, etc). Right?

obviously she/he is wrong. the main disadvantage of a sole proprietorship/ partnership is unlimited liability. also the profits of the business are reported and taxed on owners personal income tax return.

Birdjay, thanks so much for sharing. Attached URL links to an excellent article called "Contractor Secret", which complements some of your points.

Please don't forget that it's a small town, everybody knows everybody, you can't be in a company for ever, and please don't burn your bridge.

If you have made a decision to take the permanent position, I don't think you do need to notice your agent. This is your business between you and your company. I don't think you will get any trouble from them.

But please don't forget, mostly, there is contact between the Contractor, Agent and the employer, that the employer can NOT hire the Contractor 6 months after the contract ends.

My 2 cents, 1) You do not have to tell yout agent. 2) You should not have any trouble.

谢谢大家献计献策, Bird 和Labor的意思是: we are not legally bound; Wind的提醒是: balance the relationship with agent. 两点对contractor都很重要. 明智的决定首先要了解: 1 什么是不允许做的, 2. 什么是不愿意做的(或者要小心处理的). 谢谢大家了, 这个讨论对我很有启发, 希望对其他朋友也有帮助.

u have certain time limit that you can't work in the same position with the client(if it is differnet position, then different story), it should be in the agreement between you and agent,don't matter the agent know or not.

One day you say "I give my word" to others, u expect other people think your word be valuable, right? The agreement you signed with agent are also you "word".
