I am a new graduate in Canada and my goal is to apply for PR next year. I am still waiting for my certificate to be a registered massage therapist. I recently got accepted to work in a clinic (which is self-employed) as an independent contractor, however, it's only verbal for now because I am not registered yet, but I could start working as soon as I got registered. But she said there would not be any contract for me to sign and I could make my own contract for her to sign if I wanted to. I've been reading somewhere that working as an independent contractor is not counted as Canadian work experience. However, I found out that we can request a ruling from the CRA to determine if my situation is considered self-employment or employee (And if this will aid me when I apply for PR).
My question are:
1. In my situation, should I find another job where that offers employment, and what are the chances for me to be declared "employment" through CRA ruling
2. Is there anything I could include in my contract that can benefit me when I apply for my PR (to increase my points)?
