It's basically requesting for details of your financial assets, savings and liabilities i.e. credit card debt, mortgages, etc.

11A - all your savings and current account numbers and the current amount you have in them and any fixed deposit accounts you have.
11B - any property you have or inherited
11C - stocks and any other personal investments like bonds, etc
11D - do you have a business that's related to the stream you're applying under? If so, provide these details as well.
11E - pensions and any other assets you have that don't fall under A - D
11F & G - liabilities (debt) - CC, loans, etc

If any section doesn't apply to you, just put NA. Don't forget to include 11J, which is an explanation for how you accumulated all the money/assets in 11A - E. Hope this helps.

Hi I really wish you all the best with your application. I'll be submitting my documents later this year.

My questions are,
1. Did you submit any business plan with your application? *discussing how you plan to establish yourself as a self-employed person in Canada.
2. How many applications are being accepted in this visa category each year?
3. What is the maintenance (funds to support yourself in Canada) are you showing? Because rules regarding this are very unclear.

What kind of evidence do we have to provide, in order to claim the points of "Adaptability"? My uncle lives in Ontario. So how do I prove we are related?

Q1: No I didn't submit a business plan. I just provided a synopsis of what I would be doing once I arrived.
Q2: I didn't find this information anywhere but I expect this process to last over a year anyway. Processing time last time I checked was 35 months.
Q3. It's the same as mentioned on their website for FSW for 1 person, 2 persons, 3 persons and so on and so forth.

I think in the checklist somewhere on adaptability, it says to provide a copy of the person's PR card or passport? Mine was NA so I don't recall the exact requirements but should be on the checklist.

Hi, I am actually thinking about applying under the self employed stream as well. I am a writer (have been for the past 4 years) and earn almost all of my income this way.

I actually did get drawn under the Express Entry system, and all went smoothly until we were rejected for not supplying a NZ police certificate (even though I only spent 3 1/2 months in the country). Appealed, but no luck.

I'll keep you guys updated, and look forward to reading other people's experiences!

Thanks for info. Hope you got your application in in time. (y)
Quick question: Our application was handled by an immigration law firm who has been getting the email communication re our application, e.g., that it was complete. They forward those emails to us. Would it mess anything up if we linked our paper application to an online account so that we can see/hear directly, too? Will that preclude the attorney from getting updates?
