So this is one of those questions where it's possible to nerd out, but it's not going to serve much of a purpose. Here's how I'd approach this:
You are a Canadian human, working for (read: employed) by your Canadian Corporation. Your Canadian Corp is sending you, a Canadian Citizen and Canadian Tax Resident, to the US to attend a US-based training session. You're there for under 90 days/183 days, you're being paid under $3,000. Additionally, there's Publication 901 (9/2016) that gives some guidance.
Given the above, you generally would have no US reporting implications for either your human self, or your CCPC.

I’ve been reading some threads on here about consultants with Canadian based corporations working for clients in the US and it potentially causing issues if not done the right way.
I’m an IT consultant (contractor) with my own company for another Canadian based company. I’ve been asked to travel to the US for a three day planning session at the clients US office. My company would be paid as usual for those days of work in Canadian dollars. Would this cause any issues since the work is being done in the US for those 3 days? When I claim entry for business reasons do I say it’s for my client conference?
Thanks
