So i have a significant amount of money invested into the US stock market (around 80k USD almost 200k USD with margin). I sell Covered calls against the stock i own with which i am paid a premium for. This premium counts as capital gains in Canada. The contracts that i sell expire every two weeks and either they expire worthless and a sell another on the following Monday or they expire ITM and my shares get called away. (Forcibly sold at an agreed upon price) there is no real time that going into this outside of maybe market research. Now does this count towards my working permit? The money earned in this account stays in the account and goes towards paying off the margin loan. Effectively building equity in my account. Will I run into tax problems, and would this be in conflict with my visa?
Edit. I already have my student visa and am flying out this month.
