New to the community and hoping someone can advise...Am I permitted to work on my online business in Canada via the internet while studying in the US on an F1 visa? I know I can't work off campus here but is my Canadian company considered work here or there if it is registered in Canada?
Thanks so much,
t

In an F1 status, I don't believe that you can legally earn money from any source other than on-campus employment, a passive investment, or savings account interest. Of course, literally thousands of visiting students have monetized blogs and MLM sites -- and do earn money on-line (because given the bureaucracy of the BCIS and IRS, it is unlikely that they'll get caught).
