Which NOC best to choose when self-employed ?

Hey guys,

I'm hoping to apply for the express entry soon. I already sent my degrees to WES and just waiting for them to get going.

I got 469 Points and are planning on applying under 0621 - Retail and wholesale trade managers

I own and manage my own food import business (incorporated) since about 5 years, selling wholesale to supermarkets and restaurants. Do you think that's the right NOC? I couldn't find something for business owners/directors.

What kind of documents will likely be sufficient to prove employment? I have certified extracts from the business register showing my ownership and appointment as legal representative as well as showing paid up capital for the business (about 2 million CAD). The cic website lists documentation from third-party individuals for services received, do they mean invoices? Will VAT receipts from the government work?
I don't receive a salary from the business and I don't have to file a personal tax return. (Company dividends are not subject to a tax where I'm located). Will bank statements showing that I received the profits from the business once a year suffice? How far back should I go? Just one year or all 5 years? Should I submit profit tax statements for the business too?
If the bank statements aren't in English I assume they need to be translated, am I right?

Second: The business is located in a different country from the one I reside in, I drive an hour across the border every day. Should I get a PCC for that country as well? Even though I don't reside there? According to the cic website PCC is required if living there over 6 months, but technically I don't exceed 24 hours. I do hold a residence permit for that country though. (investment category)

Since I assume all the documents need to be translated I'm trying to get ready as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello, I'm applying under NoC 0621 as self employed also. How did your application go. What did you submit for work experience proof., since there's no employer to collect letter from. Thank you. I hope to get a reply.
