I'm self-employed, but not fabulously rich ("investor class) or "world class", like you apparently need to be in order to get in through the "self employed/business owner" method. We're looking at Express Entry, but I'm wondering if there is any way I can get credit for bringing my job with me when I move? I will not need to look for a new job because I can take my business anywhere and support myself. I'm hoping this will count for something in my Express Entry application, but I don't see anywhere to input this information.

No - there are no points awarded for bringing your job with you.

To get job offer points, you would need to secure a job offer in Canada and your employer in Canada would need to obtain an approved LMIA.
