HI All,

I have closed work permit issued by my employer. My wife is my dependent and she has Open work permit (as my dependent).

Does anyone know if She is allowed to register / open a company and conduct business?

Thanks

Normally you need to have a Canadian partner to start and register a business.

You must have zero involvement in the business since you are on a closed work permit.
