Hello

   I'm planning to study in Canada next year, i will apply for a study permit in a few weeks. In my home country, i have a sole proprietorship (self-employment), i'm a webmaster and getting paid from various internet companies, for the ad placings in my websites. I'm paying taxes to my home country.

   After i go to Canada, i will still have to spend some time watching after my websites - just managing and fixing problems, if any arises.

   So i wonder if i need to get an off-campus work permit for that? Or it will have nothing to do with work permits, cause i still have my business left open and operating in home country?

Share your opinions please Smiley

If it was me, I would not get a work permit for it.  Even though you are living in Canada, you are technically working in another country through the internet.
