Only if the business does an LMIA to hire you. I wouldn't be surprised if there are issues if you can't show qualifications for what position they create for you.

Yes they can hire you and give you all pay stubs, T4 and you can use that job to apply EE if you can satisfy other requirements like education, age, language etc

Thanks a lot of for your help. As my understanding, I have two option with EE:

Option 1: FSW - EE, my family business need get a approved LMIA and send a job offer to me.

Option 2: CEC - EE, I work for them and get pay stubs and T4 after a year apply CEC - EE

Can you correct if I am wrong?

It is highly appreciated for your advise
