Hey community,
I am currently checking out my options for express entry and I currently have issues I want to clear. And maybe you can help me.
On Canada's own website I have already seen how self-employed applicants have to apply (or what they need to provide).
"if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience)."
(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/applications-received-on-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html#s04)
Now I have the situation that I have been working for two clients as an individual (contract-work). I have been paid, I will get the letters of reference and they will explain my duties which align with the requirements of the NOC code I am applying for.
But I wasn't a registered freelancer nor did I do this as an incorporated business. So instead I "only" have
Will this be a huge obstacle, am I at risk of getting rejected?
Thanks

But I wasn't a registered freelancer nor did I do this as an incorporated business. So instead I "only" have
- letters of reference (also declaring the length of the business relationship)
- NOC-duties met
- bank statements
Will this be a huge obstacle, am I at risk of getting rejected?
