Not to LVO yet... But i got an invite for pre-arrival services yesterday 27 feb
Hi All,
I am new to this board and was wondering if someone could assist me with the below queries since I dont know much about how CIC runs this program
1. Is there a application limit that CIC opens up every year ? what are the timelines ?
2. How does this program overall work .. is it like provincial or like express entry ?
3. Where can I find all details regarding this program. I am a Canadian citizen looking to guide my brother to apply for PR under this program as he owns a business back home as a Fitness appraiser.
Thanks for all your help

Hello there's no annual limit for this stream as far as I know, the timeline projected on CIC currently is 25 months.
Below is link to find all relevant information

1. Not as far as I know. There's a link upthread to check the current timeline.
2. Please check the links provided earlier in the thread. It explains the entire process and all the documentation required.
3. Please check links earlier in thread including where to start from to see if your profession falls under the self-employment category.
Hi Everyone, I am new here i am so grateful gor tbis thread since there isnt much information out there for this self employed application.
My question goes thus; I have had a day job for the past 10 years, however i started my fashion company in 2015 so i am doing both jobs simultaneously.
I want to apply as a self employed person , do i need to mention that i also have a day job due to fact that most of my income comes from my day job?
Will it hurt my application if they are aware i also have a day job?
I have been running my fashion business as the creative designer with 2 employees for over 2 years. I sell clothes i made both on instagram and online so i have enough proof for this.
Kindly advice if i should leave out details about my day job . Thanks

You need to mention all sources of income including your day job. If you don't mention it and they find out, it could be classified as misrepresentation. It won't matter if most of your income comes from your day job. However, you should show that you can create employment for yourself in Canada and contribute significantly to Canada under cultural activities and you've had two years experience as well. The burden of providing adequate and convincing proof is on you. The self-employed and entrepreneurs guide (link somewhere in the thread) will provide a better explanation of this as well. HTH.
What's your NOC under the self-employed category BTW?
I am a photographer and own a studio for almost 4 years. I am preparing for documents for the Canada self-employment application. I have a few questions regarding the Schedule 6A:
1) In section 12-D, business section, the “book value” and “market value” of the business asset, I am wondering if the values just need to be estimated or to be evaluated by the audit company?
2) I have not claimed all my business incomes for the purpose of taxation, and I made the business profits negative in order to avoid the taxation, will that impact my application? Do I need provide any business related financial report for the application?
3) In section 12-J, the narrative document need to be provided, but don’t provide any supporting documents with the narrative. When should I provide the bank statements, property assets and other financial statements?

Hi guys, I've been reading a lot of pages on this thread and just wanted to say a big thank you for all the contributions! It is a lot easier to understand than some of the instructions I've found elsewhere, especially as there are so many ways/streams/PNP systems!
I have a quick question - I have spoken to a consultant or two and been advised I could apply under Express Entry, but I see I could also apply under Self-Employed? Can I simply do both or are you restricted to one application at a time?

You can apply for both at the same time and when one is finalized, you can withdraw your application for the other one.
For immigration purpose, you should pass ielts general, not academic one.
