Hi,
I've been living in Toronto for 3 years and decided to apply for PR under Self employed program as I don't have enough points for Entry Express.
My goal is to submit my application before second week of August (I have already did language test, certificate evaluation, etc.).
I've already documented myself a lot, especially following the links of this thread few pages before. I've been working as a freelance designer (NOC 5241) for the animated film industry and my clients are international. One of my most important client is Universal Pictures (Despicable Me, Minions, Sing, Secret Life of Pets...).
I have a few questions.
On the government website, it says that Relevant experience is two one-year periods. What does that mean exactly ? I mean, I already got two T4 which proves I was self employed between Jan 1st, 2016 to Dec. 31st 2017, but some weeks, I didn't work at all ? Are the two T4 relevant for proving I've worked for two years already ?
In my application, how do I prove that my activity is a cultural activity, world-class level ? Do I need to put some artworks that I did, some informations about the movies I worked on, etc ?
One last question, I have worked for clients internationally (France, USA, Canada) but 90% of my clients are based in France. Could this be a problem regarding the following point "can contribute to Canada’s economy in one of the required areas." - I mean the fact that I work more with clients from France/USA than from Canada?
Thank you.
