Okay guys so I will be coming to canada as an international student (student visa) ,nothing else.

Now ,right now, in my home country I actually teach "Marketing" to people that are interested , online.

And its getting bigger everyday, I'm making some money on the side with this...and the plan was even before I started,and still is, to turn it into a registered company and then teach ,so the reputation stays and grows as the company name ,not as some random guy trying to teach.


SO,my question:

Can I register and run this online business while I land in canada as an "International student" while on my "Student visa" ?

I will have 20 hours of work permit/week but that will be another job I will be taking up granted someone hires me when I reach there.


But,this is an online thing,is it allowed in canada while coming as a student?
I'm not stealing/taking any canadian jobs in the process.

--------------------------------------------------------------


Also,if the answer to this yes,can I open an offline business that sells some physical items? it can be anything...not a business probably but me on a student visa trying to gain some extra cash by buying things for cheap and selling them for higher prices to Canadians - while still working on my 20 hour/week job ,as what I described will be sort of self-employed status and not any employer hiring me to do something.


Help please,any help whatsoever is really appreciated ,thanks a bunch in advance! :)
