Hey,
I am in the same situation and wondering if you could confirm whether a person is legally allowed to work as self employed while on open work permit?
You can, but keep in mind you have 2 options sole proprietor (which you can do by yourself) or a cooperation (which you need a PR or a citizen to sign on it)

Hello all, I get that I need open a sole proprietorship business on an open work permit. Can I use a business name or must I only use my given name? Thanks in advance for the response.
