One other question - if I was to do a little B&B - 1 or 2 rooms max. - whilst in Canada - would this constitute 'working' by the authorities?
I'm afraid not. As a visitor only, you would have no Social Insurance Number (SIN) and would not be allowed to earn income. You could, I suppose, own the property, have the business in your daughter's name and have her pay any income taxes exigible with you re-imbursing her. On the other hand I know for a fact that many B&B's are open in the underground economy, if you are willing to take such a risk.
