Two issues - self-employment is not eligible for the CEC program, so you would have to qualify through the FSW program.

You have to be able to provide independent evidence (more than just your word) about your work experience. For most applicants, that means that the most important document is the Letter of Employment from an employer. Since you don't have an employer... See, it becomes much more difficult.

Where are you practicing? If you can provide documents such as your professional license, a business license, documents from a professional/regulatory agency, letters from colleagues, financial statements, etc. You will have to go the extra mile.

Note that it's not impossible, and easier in some ways if you work in a regulated profession because you will have this extra proof...
