The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has indicated that it will not be extending its guidance concerning the impact of travel restrictions on corporate residency determinations.

These changes are likely to be welcomed by thousands of Canadian workers who suddenly find themselves commuting to their kitchen tables. However, certain workers are not able to take advantage of the new procedure, either because they worked from home before the pandemic, or because they do not meet a threshold of working from home at least 50% of the time over a 4-week period.
A commonly-held view among employment lawyers is that reasonable notice periods increase with the age of the employee. Is this always true? We looked at data from nearly 1,800 reasonable notice decisions by courts and tribunals across Canada since 1997.
