Self-Employed Application 2018

[sweelinck]

Hi everyone

I have a question regarding NOC codes for the self employment application. What do you do if more than one code applies to you?

For example, my primary code as a video editor would be 5225 (Audio and video recording technicians) but my experience and other services I offer in my self employed capacity also include:

5221 Photographers
5222 Film and video camera operators
5223 Graphic arts technicians

So my question is, can you apply with multiple NOC codes? Or do I select 1 primary and mention the other NOC codes that apply to me in my application? Or do I only mention the primary and ignore the others?

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Also, if anyone with the same (or similar) NOC codes has received their COPR or is currently in the application process, I’d love to hear from you!

Did you find out about that? I'm in the same situation as you...

Ielts is not necessary, but important.

Company not registered, but you need to show income coming in, which will probably be your tax returns, but you might need to show the income is coming in from a client/company l. And you have invoices etc incase they need it. Also submitted a portfolio of global work along with reference letters from companies. Tax filer just tells the officer that you file your taxes - they need to see if you are capable of earning money/generating new business, therefore you need to have proof of income ready - in any form bank statements, invoices etc

I also did my degree ECA, even though its not required, it helps.
If you send a strong application its always better, as someone else will have a better chance if you dont have e.g. Ielts and the other person does.
It took me 1 year to compile everything for the application. But after sending a complete application i got my COPR in 3 months exact, from AOR.

Hi everyone,
did anyone make the IELTS exam and put it into the application? I know the program says that it is not required but our immigration agent wants to make it with us. Do you have experience about this? Did you make it? And with which result? our agent told us it is needs to be at least 6 band.
Thank you in advance

Yes i submitted my Ielts. 8.5

Is there anyone out there who would be comfortable talking #'s with me (money-wise). We can through messaging, I just have some questions and I'm trying to ease my anxiety.
How much did you show on your application/business documents that you made from your business per year over the past 5 years? Did you use Gross or Net amounts? For those who may have already had their applications processed, did they consider at all if you had someone coming with you that could also be employed, or was it ALL hinging on whatever you made from self-employment with regards to assessing your ability to support yourself and your family in Canada?

In fact all the guidelines are on the manual
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-4500-applying-permanent-residence-business-class-applicants-self-employed.html

I'm not an expert but I read the manual.

Forms

• Additional Dependent (IMM 0008 DEP) I think I do not need this form right? -

no need if you don't have more dependents than the generic form can include.

• Supplementary IMM 5562 (Travel), I did umrah so I need to add a flight detail paper? travel agent package costing detail paper? it's not mentioned in the checklist.

What is umrah?
no need to add flight details. just when and where and purpose.

• 6A Business Immigrants (economic class) experience section, bank details, asset details filled. Do I need to register my company, I am doing remote working for a client overseas no staff in my home office location, I am doing individual work. so is there any need to justify my company? legal letters?

officer registration is not a must.

• IMM 5476 (use a representative) is this mandatory to use a representative? to contact any friend in Canada and put his details?

absolutely not mandatory. you can do it all by yourself.
and a friend is not an authorized representative at all so don't risk it.

yes I will not use representative

No they donot ask for tax documents - but you mentioned it, so I was just reverting back on that.

Simply, you can just show your bank account statement, with money coming in... and balance growing. I did that. Nor did I give any tax related documents - no taxes in UAE at that time.

I didnot give any invoices etc, as I kept that incase they asked for this.

Later asked details about my net worth and wanted formal property valuations. That was the only thing they asked for re my income/finances.
