I graduated from the faculty of engineering but I work as an English teacher online.
..........................
I have a brand on the Internet ( YouTube and Facebook ) with 40 000 you tube subscribers and nearly 25000 likes on Facebook. It's an online academy for Arab students who are interested in learning English. I don't have documents for this channel but I appear on the channel. I've been running this business for three years. Is it accepted as a work experience ?? Am I allowed to claim that I'm an English teacher although I'm previously an engineer. I love English and I work as a teacher on YouTube. I have so many videos online and I also offer courses.

( I don't have formal documents for this activity)

....Sorry, but I can't imagine how that would be admissible without any formal documents...it's hard enough to claim points for being self-employed/an entrepreneur, let alone claims points for having an unregistered business with no official documentation. :( I don't think simply directing IRCC to your online videos will serve as enough proof (if they were even willing to look at them and accept videos as proof, which I doubt, the person in the video could be an identical twin or doppelganger just claiming to be you - it's not definitive enough). There needs to be more concrete evidence than that...

I am sorry to say, but I doubt the Youtube/FB links would be enough to merit as work experience under CIC guidelines for your application. I guess you would neither have the related Pay Stubs nor the Tax Documents to prove you were paid the last 3 years correct?? Would suggest to use your previous engineering experience to move ahead with your Immigration plans. Good luck.
