Hi guys,
I have been self-employed for the past 5 years and the NOC I'm claiming points for is based on that self employment. Could someone guide me on what documents would be required after ITA for this. Thanks
if the applicant is a self-employed person, he must provide:
1. Articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership:
- Сertificate of registration of a company or self-employed entrepreneur
- License, if required for the type of your business activity
- Screenshot of a corporate website with a link
- Photos of the workplace (for example, if you have a store or a selling spot in the construction material market, take a picture of it and attach the photo to the application — it will be easier for an immigration officer to get an idea of your activity)
2. Evidence of self-employment income:
- Agreements and contracts with customers or suppliers
- Work completion certificates
- Pension fund certificates containing the amounts of contributions
- Tax reports
- Bank statements
3. Reference letters from third parties (e. g. customers or suppliers) that list the services provided and contain information on payment for these services. The client or supplier must indicate their contact details in the letter so that the immigration officer can contact them and verify the authenticity of the document.
4. Notarized translations all documents in English or French made by a certified translator, as well as:
- Translator’s affidavit
- Copies of original documents
The more documents, the better. However, letters describing the work duties that the self-employed person has written himself will not be accepted.
When attaching documents, you must make sure that the immigration officer gets a complete picture of your activity, so that he has no doubt that you are an entrepreneur and this is your main occupation.
