Does self-employed work experience count?

[dscott]

Have been working as a self-employed web designer for last 3+ years here in UK and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this counted towards minimum work experience required for permanent residence visa in Canada.

Also, any suggestions on best supporting documents to supply.

Thanks.

1. Yes if it falls in NOC A or B or O see: http://www23.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/2001/e/generic/welcome.shtml
2. You would have to include a description of your work and copies of contracts with employers which outlined the duties that you did for them.
