Hello everyone,

I'm currently an international student with off campus work permit. I'm thinking of start a new business in Canada myself. I'm graduating in 4 months and I wish to get everything ready then I can run my business right after graduation. Will I be eligible to do that? Thank you!
 
Yes, you can. However there are some limitations. I looked this up for you:

You need a partner who is a Canadian citizen or PR. You can't start a business on your own.

I think this does not apply if you are on OPEN post grad work permit and self-employed(working from home)?

Someone please shed some light here..

Thank you
 
Did you eventually start your business?
