Hi everyone,
I’ll be moving to Canada on an employer-specific work permit supported by an LMIA under the Global Talent Stream.
Before moving to Canada, I developed and launched a mobile app that already generates money from subscriptions.
I understand that my work permit only authorizes me to work for the employer listed on it. My question is what happens with income from a business/product that already existed before I moved to Canada.
Would I be allowed to keep receiving the existing App Store revenue if I don’t actively work on the app while in Canada?
I also have the option of making the app completely unavailable in Canada, so there would be no Canadian users or revenue.
Has anyone been in a similar situation with a pre-existing app, YouTube channel, SaaS, or other online business while on a closed work permit?
