Hi, my wife got into a 2 year MSc program at a public university and is going to apply for her study permit along with a SOWP for me and a visitor visa for our child. Below are our details.

Wife (primary applicant): 32 years
Spouse (open work permit): 37 years
Child: 2.5 years

Situation/issue: In the application for SOWP under the 10 years work experience, I only have one year (only from 2021 April) of documented work experience. I do not have the pay checks or the experience certificate (except for the offer letter) for the previous company where I worked for 3 years (2018-2020 March). Before (2016-2018) that I had a business.

Question: Will it negatively impact our application if I only include one year of experience for which I have a documented proof? What information can I include to do that there is a good chance of SOWP approval?
Any suggestions/guidance is really appreciated. Thank you in advance
