Business as a non resident
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Projectman
    I am a certified Contractor and would like to open a small business in Vancouver. My present VISA is under an employer, but I would like to initiate a small business (which my wife could work at getting started).

    Can I open a business as a non resident ? My Present VISA has me clasified as a NAFTA Professional, thus they have accepted my credentials. If so where do I go to initiate

    Thanks

    Cross-border business can include activities like:

    * buying Canadian goods or services for a foreign business or government
    * taking orders for goods or services
    * attending meetings, conferences, conventions or trade fairs
    * providing after-sales service (mainly supervision, not hands-on labour)
    * being trained by a Canadian parent company you work for outside Canada
    * training employees of a Canadian subsidiary of a foreign company or
    * being trained by a Canadian company that has sold you equipment or services.

    Under the North American Free Trade Agreement, a U.S. or Mexican national may also take part in other activities, such as research, marketing and general service.

    There is no limit to the amount of businesses that
    could be set up and ran off of the internet. The main thing is to
    understand how the internet is making money and follow
    the pattern in order to get some of the cash coming your way
