Showing Experience Of Freelance Work

[manpreet304]

Hey

I have done bachelors in computer applications in 2012 , after that i started working as free lancer developer and i had good earnings too so did not felt like doing job as i was earning lot more than job can give.
Soon i started my own news and stories website which got popular so i stopped doing development work , did Mass-comm Postgraduate diploma last year and started working on that website professionally.
I still do development work for my old clients though.

Now my main concern is if i apply for PR how i will prove my work experience ? As i have worked for my self only.
I do have paypal transactions and revenue , also Tax returns but is that enough to prove my work ??

And also just want to know should i go for student visa and carry forward my studies in Canada for 2 years than apply for PR ?

Thanks
Reagrds

See the section "Proof of Work Experience." There is a paragraph on self-employment.

If you have any business registration / legal incorporation documents, that will help (most freelancers / persona services contractors do not have that, tho). Your tax returns showing business income are good. IRCC would also expect a LOE (letter of explanation) about your business, letter(s) of reference from customers/clients, proof of earnings (invoices, payments, and/or tax documents). Hours worked per week may be the most difficult part to document, but if it is consistently 30+ hours, you should not have any problems.

Depends on whether you have enough points to qualify without another degree. A benefit of getting a 2 year diploma/degree (in addition to more educatin points) is that you could get a 3-year post graduate work permit, and gain Canadian work experience. This would give you more points as well.
