Can I do stock market with study permit ?

[MKJ12345]

Hello people,

I'm a full-time student in Canada with study permit which said I'm prohibited from working in Canada.
However, I've been doing some my own country's stock market for a pocket money.
I think technically investment of stock market is a sort of work that makes any profit.
In this case, is it illegal ?


Also would it be possible if I invested Canadian stock market as an international student ?

Best regards,

As long as you're only investing your own money (not other people's money) - then yes, this is certainly possible without a work permit.
