Can an international student run an on-line business?

Yes - this is considered work and is illegal without a work permit. If you are making any money, it's work.

Can you please let me know if i can buy and sell nfts as international student in canada

I got accepted to Columbia College for September this year. I haven't sent my study permit yet because I'm trying to arrange for custodianship since I'm 18. Anyway I just started making money out of a hobby selling my hand made crafts and hair accessories in my home town. People really like them and I'm planning on putting up a website where I can sell my crafts on-line. I really enjoy what I do and I love having my pieces out there. When I go to Canada this September, will I be able to continue with this small business? Is it considered 'work'?

Self employment is legal. Selling on etsy is no different from doing UberEats. As long as you don't work for more than 20 hours/wk during school, it's legal.
