Sole proprietorship on an Open Work Permit?

[martag]

Hello. I have recently arrived in Canada, in Quebec, with my husband, who has a employer specific work permit, and under his permit I have been given an Open Work Permit. Does my Open Work Permit in Quebec allow me to register for a sole proprietorship to work as a freelancer?

Yes you can work anywhere including for yourself on an open work permit except employers who are specifically excluded and the erotic/sex trade.
