Business visa and registered business...can I work?

[johnlass]

Hi All,

I am a South African national with a 10 year working visa and a registered business under my name in Canada. I am currently not in Canada, but am a qualified and experienced geologist looking for work in mining and exploration.

Would I be able to:
- enter Canada on my business visa
- contract out my services to companies under the name of my business
- and receive income through my company, without any kind of work permit or residency?

Thanks in advance!

John
