Hello,

I am applying for visitor's visa for my dad who is a small business owner in India using the new IRCC portal.
I am trying to find the correct drop down option for Work/Activity and Job title (see list below)
  1. Art, culture, recreation and sport occupations
  2. Business, finance and administration occupations
  3. Education, law and social, community and government services occupations
  4. Government Position
  5. Health occupations
  6. Homemaker
  7. Incarcerated
  8. Management occupations
  9. Manufacturing and utilities occupations
  10. Natural and applied sciences and related occupations
  11. Natural resources, agriculture and related production occupations
  12. Retired
  13. Sales and service occupations
  14. Trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations
  15. Unemployed
My dad is the proprietor of his firm and owns the business.
Can somebody help me select the right option from the list above?

If I select Business (#2 on list above), I do not see any option under Job Title for proprietor, business owner, etc.

Any suggestions which option to select?

Thanks.
