Implied Status

[Kshitij10]

Hello there, if someone has implied status and PR application is under process, Is he or she allowed to start up own business or in partnership?

Did you apply for a work permit as well? You'd need to wait until you get a work permit or PR

Yes, if we applied for WP as well.
Thanks for your help.

You would need to look at Securing an owner operated LMIA or wait until you get PR.

This seems to be a grey area with an OWP and spousal sponsorship. If my wife (a Canadian citizen) sponsors me for PR and I get an OWP, can we start a business together?

Talked to several immigration lawyers in BC a couple of years ago on this and they each said they weren't sure, and that the Owner-Operator LMIA program didn't fit well with the spousal PR/OWP process. Anyone have any further insight on this?

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread - hopefully I'm not straying too far off the OP's topic.

Your wife can start a business. You’ll need to check with a lawyer as to what kind of role and partial ownership you can have
