For the proof of work experience, I've been a host of Airbnb for many years, and I wanted to include it in my work experience.

1) Would an Airbnb host be included in the following occupation category (i.e. bed and breakfast operator)? I'm reluctant to call myself a manager, as it is basically a one man show, out of my own residency. Would someone know where I can contact to confirm if this is appropriate?

0632 – Accommodation service managers
Accommodation service managers plan, organize, direct, control and evaluate the operations of an accommodation establishment or of a department within such an establishment. They are employed by hotels, motels, resorts, student residences and other accommodation establishments, or they may be self-employed.

Example titles
Index of titles
  • Bed and breakfast operator
  • Front desk manager - accommodation services
  • Guest-house operator
  • Hotel assistant manager
  • Hotel director
  • Hotel manager
  • Motel manager
  • Reservations manager
  • Seasonal resort manager
  • Ski resort manager
  • Tourist home operator
2) What documents would I need to prove this employment? I have the payment slips from Airbnb.

3) For other foreign job experiences, what documents are required for proof of work experience? My work are mostly parttime jobs, so I need to go back and find these documents...

Many thanks for your help!!
 
If your gig is a one-man show I don’t think it qualifies. You need to be in charge of team and a department for this NOC to be relevant as it specifies "manager". The following category might be more relevant: 6525 – Hotel front desk clerks.

I'm not sure it's realistic to claim work experience for an airbnb unless you own a number of properties with airbnbs operating. If this is a single apartment or room out of your one residency, I don't think IRCC will buy that this is a job - certainly not a NOC A, B or 0 job. I would personally leave this off your work experience.
