    Really enjoyed this video but curious how can you run your own business without going over the 20 hrs a week permitted? like how are those 20 hrs per week calculated when self employed? especially a physical business, online store or youtube for example? if they have some tips around this that would be very helpful.

    Hi Max, Nice video, pls a question…As an international student who wants to start an online small business, Is it a must that the business must be registered?…Maybe a clothing business. Must I register the business before I can start?…people say if I don’t register it ,it will have a negative effect on my PGWP .Is it true?

    So if a student starts a SaaS business and is generating an income less than $30K-
    1. Who does the student report the hours to?
    2. Can the student work in a part-time job and still start their business.
    3. What if the student started their SaaS while on a study break where we're allowed to work unlimited hours and the business starts to profit after the break but they are not working in their business anymore- it's basically generating profit on auto-pilot. What then?
    4. Are there any complications while applying for PGWP?

      ​@@ImCanadaI've been doing some research and I’m not sure if I’m correct, but I read that during our study permit period, we are not allowed to be self-employed. Since a Shopify business can be considered self-employment, does this mean that when we earn money from there, it will show up as income from a self-run business, not from a Canadian employer and cause problems in future? Is this information accurate? Can you please make me clear on this one? Thanks
