Hiring a designer in Canada. HELP!

[MajesticLynx]

I am in the works of "hiring" a designer who lives in Canada. They will be hired as an independent contractor or that was the idea if they lived in the U.S.

What do I need to do since they live out of country? Is it still a 1099 form? I'm new to all of this. Do I honestly need to do anything besides pay them and write it off of my taxes or what?

Thanks!
