Looking to join partner but not sure how to continue working remotely

Hello!

I'm looking for some information regarding living in the Netherlands with my partner. We're both Canadians and she'll be attending Utrecht University for her master's. She's getting a student residency permit that allows me as her partner to join her and also get a residency permit.

Unfortunately, she is only allowed 16-hours of work per week and I'm given the same working rights for my residency permit. I currently work full-time as an independent contractor software developer for an EU tech company. And I would like to continue to work 40-hours a week. If I move to the Netherlands, I can choose to become a full-time employee rather than a contractor or keep my status as a contractor.

Given that information, I was wondering if I should apply for the Working Holiday Permit? Clipping Path Service

I'm allowed to work full-time on this visa, but I'm not allowed to keep the same employer for the full year or enter the country with a contract. I don't want to lie, but is there anything I can do to get around this? Do you have any advice for getting working rights as a remote employee?

Thank you!
