I was looking here on which bodies assess one's qualifications and experience. Couldn't find any. Any tips?

I had looked at this site before. Actually my field is restaurant management. I have been running my own restaurant for the past few years. I wanted to know how to use this experience assessed as a restaurant manager. There isn't any body for assessing in this field except health professions it seems on this site. Please advise me if I am wrong.

You need to get your education assessed only for Canada, not your work experience.

How will I know whether they will accept my experience as a proprietor as a restaurant manager?

lkva thanks for your info. I am quite aware of the process, maybe not perfectly but I know that my profession fits under NOC 0631 under which there are quite a few categories. However what I want to know is if my restaurant ownership experience will be accepted by them under this category. I do not want to go through all the processes and then find out that they will not accept my self employment as my NOC. That's why I wanted to find this out but I don't see it anywhere. See what I mean ?

I see, I misunderstood your question, thank you for clarifying. Unfortunately, I don't know how it would be assessed, so I defer to others on this forum who might be familiar with your situation. You can also contact an immigration lawyer - they would be the best source of information.

Proof of work experience
Purpose
To prove each work experience claim and to validate that the applicant meets program requirements

Document requirements
  • The personalized document checklist in applicants’ online account prompts the applicant with an upload field for each work experience declared.
  • At the completeness check, the processing office determines only whether the required documents are included. The validity or fraudulence of the information is assessed only if and when the application is placed into processing.
The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

  • a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
  • if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
