I have asked a couple of "experts" and I didn't really got a convincing answer.
May be because I'm looking for the answer "Yes" :)

I'm on TN as Mfg Engineer under Scientific Technician Category.
I've come across an opportunity to buy/ restart a business that went out of business. It's not in my line of work and I'm not planning to work on the business. Question is whether I can buy/ Start a business in the US while I'm working under TN (I understand that I can't work for myself on the business)? I'll be hiring a Director (Manager) who will be the person doing all the day to day work and handling other employees

Another opportunity I'm debating for a while is for my wife who is on TD status on US.
Could she start her own business in Canada and she can support (It'll be services) either for US and or Canadian Customers.
She would be physically present in the US though:oops::oops:

Any input is appreciated
 
Your isdea for yourself is fine, but not the one for your spouse. She cannot be doing work for herself in US on TD.
