Hello all,

My spouse has been here in Canada (Calgary, AB) for about 4 months and can't find a job.

Can she sell arts and crafts with her Open Work Permit? Also, can she do Freelance work for companies or people (Consulting)?

Another question... Can she open an online business?

All I want to know if she can legally do all these things and if she will need to do invoicing under her name to withhold tax??

I'm new to Canada and how taxes and work permits work here.

Thank you!
