Q: I am in Canada under student Visa. I have an idea i wish to convert to online business service.What is the procedure?
I am an International student in Canada under student Visa. I wish to start a online service in Canada. Is it legal to do so considering my Visa type. What will be procedure? Thank you. Have a good day.
A:
As an F-1 student, you are to engage in your studies on a full time basis until graduation. If you live, work and draw remuneration from such activity, without ‘proper’ employment authorization then you violate the law.
If you have an idea that you are ready to pursue, then you must return to Canada. Otherwise, you run the risk of falling out of status and possibly becoming an overstay.
I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any complications. You may have options that you are unaware of, but overlooking.
