So I will be coming to Canada on a student visa, and according to new rules we can work 10 hours/wk right away without waiting for the 6 months that were on the old rules.
Now,as of now in my home county I freelance online on freelancing sites helping companies with their marketing and handling their marketing for some months,and getting paid in return.
This is via big online freelancing sites ,and I'm very good at my skills and have become much better with time.
----
Question is,
While on a student visa, can I continue this when I enter canada?
Ofcourse this won't come under the 20 hr/wk thingy, that would be some employer recruiting me under his business and that makes my employment legal and under the part time work permit, so that will be another thing.
Is this thing,online freelancing ,allowed when I enter canada?
Need some good experienced advice from you guys,thanks in advance
PS: Just as an extra info, in the US this thing is NOT allowed for some reason...wondering what are the rules in Canada.
--------------------------
And heres the Business part of the explanation ,I really hope someone helps me and gets me to a solution here....
Okay guys so I will be coming to canada as an international student (student visa) ,nothing else.
Now ,right now, in my home country I actually teach "Marketing" to people that are interested , online.
And its getting bigger everyday, I'm making some money on the side with this...and the plan was even before I started,and still is, to turn it into a registered company and then teach ,so the reputation stays and grows as the company name ,not as some random guy trying to teach.
SO,my question:
Can I register and run this online business while I land in canada as an "International student" while on my "Student visa" ?
I will have 20 hours of work permit/week but that will be another job I will be taking up granted someone hires me when I reach there.
But,this is an online thing,is it allowed in canada while coming as a student?
I'm not stealing/taking any canadian jobs in the process.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Also,if the answer to this yes,can I open an offline business that sells some physical items? it can be anything...not a business probably but me on a student visa trying to gain some extra cash by buying things for cheap and selling them for higher prices to Canadians - while still working on my 20 hour/week job ,as what I described will be sort of self-employed status and not any employer hiring me to do something.
Help please,any help whatsoever is really appreciated ,thanks a bunch in advance!
