Hello, everyone!

I am hoping to apply for the self employed visa. I am on H1B visa in the United States and I get the W-2 form. I work part-time during the four years. NOC: 5243 theater, fashion, exhibit and other creative designers. I also work as self-employed in U.S., but I do not have a tax return here as self- employed. However, in my country, I have a small sewing studio that still working. My experience as a self-employed for 12 years. Do you think, I am a self-employed candidate? Thanks.

Just to put the record straight.. I double checked for the very specific class that the OP is wanting to apply under. The official Guide at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/4000ETOC.asp states the following.

Factor 4: Ability in English and/or French

The ability to communicate and work in one or both of Canada’s official languages is very important to you as a business immigrant. Proficiency in English, French or both will help you in the Canadian labour market.

You will be awarded up to 24 points for your basic, moderate or high proficiency in English and French. You will be given points based on your ability to:

listen,
speak,
read, and
write.
Proof of Language Proficiency

If you wish to be awarded points for your proficiency in English and/or French, you must submit language test results from a designated testing agency to the CIO with your application.

To be eligible for points for language ability, you must include the results of one of the following language tests from a testing agency designated by CIC:

English

IELTS: International English Language Testing System (General Training test only)
CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (General test only)
French

TEF: Test d’évaluation de français
Important information. If you do not submit the results of your official language proficiency test with your application to the CIO, you will not be awarded points for your ability in English and/or French.

The OP is correct that it's not mandatory for this Class..

Hello everybody

We would like to start our visa application under the self employed category, we need to do it through Paris, but it seems such a long time to get the visa. 39 monts is very long time to set our life on hold. Does anyone have any experience with the Paris office? And self employed category?
I have my own business for almost 5 years now, and would like to relocate to Canada

thank you for the replies

In this table you can see evidence of money you need depending on the number of persons listed in the application.

Maybe chose express entry if you qualify over self employed given self employed stream processing time is quoted as 62 months. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/business/self-employed/apply-who.asp
