Hello! I read the forum and there are 2 Kabayans who are also applying under this stream. Any updates re: self-employed and the status of your application? as we are going to start gathering the documents required and reading forums as this such a big help for new applicants. Wish to hear from people and share their insights and experiences about self-employed application. Thank you.

Hi, we applied August 2013 and got our visa by August 2014. We are now in Canada. The process was really fast for us, I hope it will be for you too. Just make sure all requirements are complete and proves that you are eligible for self employed.

Hi! Congrats! can you let me know what exactly are these must have in our documents? everyone is saying something and I'm not sure! How much money do they need? For my work experience, I only have my contracts and some confirmation letters. what else do they need? I'm a freelance graphic designer and I worked for around 8 years. what documents should I submit to support my claims???

Thank you. I actually had a consultant to help me with everything. I don't exactly remember all the requirements. All I remember is aside from the forms, personal docs like passports and birth certificates. I was also asked to prepare all documents to prove my eligibility so I just gather everything I have. I am not a freelance though, so I have all employment certificates plus my portfolio, so I am not sure with contracts in your case. For the money, I don't know how much is it already now but last time we paid around 2k dollars for application, 20k dollars for funds in the bank and a landing fee of around 1500 dollars.

We are actually a family of 3 and its going to be my husband whose going to apply under the self-employed category application and he has been working on his own wayback 2007 and we only found this now re self-employed application. Again, Congratulations to you! If you do not mind, where are you now based exactly in Canada? Where do u think is the best place for self-employed person to migrate in Canada, any suggestion? And, what's the name of the office who helped you with the application?

Hi, yes I applied from PH. My consultant is OSIAS, maybe you can google them. We live in the Greater Toronto Area, I am not sure where in Canada is the best place for self-employed. But to be honest, it is not advisable to start here as a freelance. In where we are connections are very important so being employed at first would definitely be better.

I was looking at the processing times for Self-employed (federal) process and for my surprise it shows the average time is 109 months (about 9 years).

Anyone can see it here:

www . cic . gc . ca /english/information/times/index.asp

and choose "Economic class", then "Self-employed persons (federal)"

Surely it is wrong. Does someone knows what is the real processing time in this case?
