Can I open a business in Australia?

Question

I am a resident of Canada.

Answer 1

Yes, there's nothing that will necessarily prevent your opening a business, but you'll need to get FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) approval if you won't be applying to emigrate permanently to Australia. http://www.firb.gov.au/content/default.a...

If you're interested in living and working here, go to:

Answer 2

yes you can , you must apply for a long term business visa, usually you bank your assets in a australian bank , you are given a certain length of time to buy or set up your business , i think the visa is valid for 4 years, after 4 years you are entitled to apply for a permanent residency, or extend your ltbv.

Answer 3

You've left your question wide open - you first need to see if you qualify to live here.
