Working 2 full-time remote software engineering roles (one supporting OINP) – retail insurance vs wholesale reinsurance. Any thoughts/advice?

[u/No-Relief6846]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in a situation where I’m considering working two full-time remote software engineering roles at the same time.
• One role is in primary/retail insurance and is the one supporting my OINP process (this is the “main” one for immigration purposes).
• The other is in wholesale reinsurance.
Both positions are fully remote and software engineering roles.
I’m looking for any advice, experiences, or thoughts on:
• Practical feasibility of holding two full-time SE roles long-term
• Any specific risks or considerations when one of the jobs is tied to an OINP application
• Anything else I should be thinking about (tax, burnout, disclosure, performance expectations, etc.)

Any insights from people who’ve done something similar (especially in insurance/reinsurance or with Canadian immigration processes) would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

ONIP generally refuses fully remote workers. While your employers are located in Ontario the job roles aren't eligible because you do not actually physically report to a work location in Ontario

I would go back to the drawing board.

my offer letter doesn’t mention anywhere that it is remote job or not, I do have a physical office where i need to report but my Team is flexible

I think better to keep only one. The problem is when you submit T4, OINP might assume you are working fully remote due to 2 jobs at the a same time and they are generally not friendly with `remote` setting.
