Hi. I applied for Permanent Residence in June, passed my biometrics. Am I allowed to register my company and work as a contractor maintaining my pr application?

An oil& gas company gave me an offer, but they hire contractors only. Can I register my company while waiting for permanent residence to work for them or not? Currently I work as an employee for company through which I applied for nomination.

IRCC website doesn’t have description or explanation, and I’m not sure how they will react for me being a business owner and not employee.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you!

No you can't if you claimed points while working for another company
