Can i invest in stocks with pgwp

[Rahul_Ram1008]

Hello all,

I'm wondering if it is legal to invest in stocks during pgwp status in canada. And is it okay to give sin number during registration ? Someone please let me know.

Thanks for your responses.

That's what I did as well and don't see any reason why we cant. You do have to give the SIN number because then they can issue you T3 and T5 or any gain report - a copy will be kept by them, one copy will be sent to CRA and one will be mailed to you.

Yes you can. Talk to your bank.

Investing in stock is not considered to be “work” from the IRCC perspective as it would have no real impact on the Canadian labour market Therefore, you would not need to have a work permit in order to invest your money in stocks.
