Self-Employed Application 2018

Where to show the point calculation? Cover letter ?

I think the CIO office calculate automatically by checking the application where you stand with points, I make a word document with a heading of score single A4 page about my eligibility and score education points/experience points/age points/adaptability points

biometric fees are less under C$200 with dependents of 4, pay with processing fees, Rights fees have a choice in the payment screen, you will pay once the application accepted or pay right away choice is yours

Thank you!

For those of you who had a spouse and family when you applied, did they consider your spouse's employability at all as far as your fitness to support yourselves in Canada? Or, was it all hinged on your self-employed income?

What is the difference between "Employment income" and "Business income"? Is employment income just a yearly amount that we made (both myself and my spouse I assume, since it asks for amounts and assets belonging to both)? For the past how many years? Business income is maybe total amount earned from the "business" over the years? How many years? It's confusing. We teach music lessons so the whole monetary part is confusing (we don't have invoices or contracts, etc and our business doesn't have a dollar amount worth). Thanks!

Hi, I'm kind of confused about this too. What I stated in our application, which I'm about to submit, is that I do business as a DBA (Doing Business As) instead of under a company name. I am a voice over artist and my husband is a TV director and filmmaker, and we have no registered company. We do business as ourselves. So in the Business Income section of the Accumulation of Funds narrative, I just said to see the section above for my Self-Employment Income, because that is essentially my business income. I hope I'm going about it the correct way. If somebody can shed light on this, we would really appreciate it too.

How to appeal if case is rejected

Our Counsultant didn't send all required document

What did they say?? That's irresponsible...

 

[typeaimages]

You should have an opportunity to send the required documents that were missing, correct?

Did they detail which documents were missing?

How to appeal if case is rejected

Was your application rejected outright or was it returned for incomplete documents? What does your letter say. If just missing documents, there should be a checklist of what documents are missing. Then you resubmit. The link tells you what to do. If you are using a consultant, they will most likely have to do it.

If your application was rejected/refused for not being eligible, you can’t appeal blaming the consultant. You are responsible for ensuring that the application is complete and can’t blame a consultant for not sending in all the documents. You can appeal if the visa officer didn’t follow the laws and regulations but not for missing documentation.
