Hi, I just landed recently, I really want to quit my job and do my own stuff as a self-employed person ( I do futures and stocks trading online).

but when I checked the citizen application form, CIT 0002E, they ask you to list all your work or education period from the most recently after PR landing.

So I have to fill self-employed then? is that good? also for Work/education, I should fill in Futures trader or stocks trader??


I mean I am very different to a lot of ppl, but I make much more from this than my job

As PR, you have every bit of right to pursue livelihood in Canada without restriction. So yes, you can.

As for Citizenship application form, I assume it is to prove you are present in Canada for the period of time. So I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Also, for the CIT0002E form, when filling this for citizen application, the work/education: I should fill trader? futures trader?

i don't think it matters a lot, just put something descriptive

you would get more definitive answer in the Citizenship forum
