Proof of Working Experience & Self-Employed Program

Hi all, I'm applying for EE and I'm confused about my situation for providing proof of working experience.

I worked 3.5 years as a full-time graphic designer (NOC-B) at an advertising agency; however, I cannot provide the proof of paystub because I got paid in cash. What I can provide is the reference letter and some kind of hour tracking sheet without details like the tax deduction, etc.

I would like to ask if anyone who has similar experience like me or knows anything I can do to increase my chance to acquire PR?

An additional question which I don't know if it's suitable to ask on this board.

Since I've also freelanced as a graphic designer for more than 2 years and I would like to start a design business in Canada, I'm thinking to apply for Self-Employed Person Program as well. However, I faced the same issue as I mentioned above, there's no official paystub because all my income is in cash. I am able to provide professional portfolios, some contracts, and invoices.

Compared to EE, I personally think Self-Employed Person Program suits me better. Would anyone give me suggestions over my situation please, thank you very much.
