Is there any way I can work on my business while in Canada?

[happilyfreckled]

Hi,

I have a non-established business which is a US LLC. Is there any visa or way that I can work on the business while I am inside of Canada? For example, I would like to sell my product to Canadian companies while I am in Canada...

Not easily. You can work remotely, to countries other than Canada while in Canada, but you cannot deal with a Canadian company or individual.

You would have to go through the Self Employment visa stream which would be costly and it takes a very long time.

Thanks for your reply!

So, for example, if I get a job and was able to secure a work visa, and then I started to create products and sell them at events to consumers, would that be allowed? What if I wanted to sell those same products wholesale?

If you got a job in Canada and then obtained a work permit based on that job - you would be restricted to working that job only (closed work permit). You could not legally sell your products in Canada.
