Hi,

I'm planning to open an partnership with my sister, who is a Canadian citizen.

It is possible to obtain a work permit (even temporary) using International Mobility Program using "Canadian interests – Significant benefit – Entrepreneurs/self-employed candidates seeking to operate a business [R205(a) – C11]" in order to build the initial business, until hiring an Canadian to operate it?

How the "significat benefit" is assesed, regarding to economic stimulus? It is only business figures, or also industry sector is important?

It probably means you need to create a number of jobs for Canadians.
