could you please give me your draft of the Narrative document ? I dont know how to draft it ? appreciate;)
Unfortunately not as it's confidential. However, it's just a simple straightforward explanation of how I make money and all my sources of income. You can do same as well.

Thank you, I just noticed this line in the Document checklist (IMM 5784) though saying « Do not send any additional documents when submitting your application to CIO », so it might be a bad idea to include them, at least for now, what you guys think?

Also, I have asked for an Educational Credential Assessment for my certificate - thinking it was required as it is for Entry Express but I haven’t been able to find any mention regarding this requirement for the SE stream? Did I pay for something not required? Is only a copy of certificate required?
I included only what they asked for as per the checklist and application forms, and nothing else. I'm not trying to piss them off. If they want additional documentation, they can easily ask for it on the online portal.

Educational assessment isn't required for SE but it doesn't hurt to get it done anyway. You only have to submit a copy of your certificate for SE though.

I'm starting this thread for those who are considering sending in an application under self-employed category in 2018. @BaNana82 has been extremely helpful so far sharing his own process and timelines. I'm currently collating my documents and have the IELTS on Jan 20.

Once I receive the results, I will be sending my application in. I'm applying under 5121 - authors and writers. Though the current processing time on CIC website says 48 months, I've met several people who received responses within a year or less so don't let the time discourage you as it did me the first time I considered this in 2015.

You can find occupations that fall under self-employed category here - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=291&top=6.

Let's all support each other as we proceed on this journey in 2018...:)
Hi, i'm seeking information about work permit in Canada to start my own business.Need LMIA exception code.

Yes that was a few days ago, and "how long does it take to hear back from them?" is in a context of "When does CIO provide application number?"

Since I have submitted the application I am familiar with how to find processing time and this certainly puts the question "how long does it take to hear back from them regarding a response to visa in particular" out of context.

July 9th 2018 was just yesterday, are you joking?
What is to joke about?

It is a simple inquiry to set my expectation regarding how long does it take to get application number? As people here are further ahead then me in the processing phase, so someone must have already received application number. Website is not clear about how long it takes to receive a confirmation regarding when they provide confirmation about receiving the documents.

Either you guys are too quick to judge or I am reading the situation incorrectly.

How can you get your application on the same day of submission, its a common sense to think about, i'm not very quick to judge, i guess your question was very early. As per my experience it should take few days to issue the file number, first you should receive an acknowledgement email from immigration.

I didn't ask whether if I will receive the reply on the same day or even a week after my documents have been received. I have a previous experience of submitting documents to HO of UK and their response time to acknowledgement is 2-3 days.

I actually inquired from the people whose documents have been received and they have gotten a response from CIO, you definitely do not fit the criteria of that person. So, the question isn't even aimed at yourself because you haven't even submitted your application yet.

It usually takes 90 working days to get AOR but that is an approximation. It could be sooner too. After that it’s anyones guess for time to MR and more. Good luck.
