Is it possible to start one's own business on an open work permit?

Can one apply for PR under the PNP using an open work permit (without a job offer or experience)?

Can one apply for PR under Canadian experience class on an open work permit as self employed?

---ONLY with a Canadian partner. You would be treated as a foreign investor. On your own NO----

--- No PNP is employer driven----

--- CEC is driven by time worked in Canada in an NOC class that fits. Since you cannot be legally self employed in Canada without PR status. The answer is NO unfortunately.----
Good Luck :)
