Please read about CIC's Express Entry program for Immigrants under FSWP category.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/eligibility.asp

Also take program eligibility here to check your eligibility in terms of qualification experience, language, funds etc.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-express.asp

Also check this http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp
Hope this helps!

Self employed experience is not considered for FSW.
I would suggest show as you are working for the company.

This is not correct. Self-employed experience is accepted under the FSW program (with proper documentation), it is excluded from the CEC program.

It is also bad advice to suggest an applicant lie or cheat on his/her application...

This is a very important webpage - under the "Proof of Work Experience" section, it describes the kind of documentation needed for self-employment experience.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

"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)."

Sorry, this is very difficult to understand. I think you are saying you have a PNP nomination under the express entry program, based on your current employer, and you are having trouble getting something from them - not sure what - the letter of employment? And you want to proceed without proof of employment?

There's no way we can advise without knowing which province and which specific stream...
