Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to start a business or be selfemployed in canada without having to apply through Permanent Residence? Is there a work permit that is specific for this or is it only done through the PR route?

Any suggestions or help is appreciated!

You have to go the PR route. There is no work permit available for self employed.
