Hi
I live in Belgium and I'm exploring the option to temporarily move to Canada (min. 1 year).
I am looking to get a basic 9 to 5 job and to freelance in my spare time (I'm a consultant with over 9 years of experience).
Because I'm a consultant and no office or any other significant financial commitment is required I am able to test the business waters
slow and steady without the risk of losing my financial stability. In the mean time I also get the chance to witness Canadian life within
the community itself which also will brighten horizons and help me shape my business expansion model in a more detailed way.
Because I do not want to blindly start a business from scratch without having lived in Canada for at least one year, leaving me the option to evaluate,
it is my question what kind of visa is most applicable to my situation? Ideally, I'd like to get a work visa with the permission to get a VAT number and perform
freelance work. Also, with the option to extend the work visa after my authorized period is finished.
Can somebody help me figure this out please?
