Can I convert my eTA to a work permit in Canada?

Taking part in a conference, trade fair, or seminar.
Making general business or employment inquiries.
Examining, approving, or reviewing a business contract.
Sightseeing or visiting family and friends in Canada.

However, travelers aren't allowed to engage in the following activities:

Working for or rendering services to an individual, company, or institution.
Selling goods or services to the public.
