We're in the review period of the common-lar PR application for inland. I'm looking into getting an OWP while we wait since it can take forever...

My question is can I work as an artist under the OWP? Like selling art and doing commissions? Basically self-employed or contracted.

Yes - you can be self-employed under the OWP.

Did you include an OWP with your inland application?

Oh, ok good! Just trying to plan ahead for options. No, I wasn't sure if my application would go through and I saw you could apply for owp after the PR started.
