As a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant, a question I hear often is: "Can I apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada with self-employment work experience from my home country?" The short answer is yes, but there are some important things you need to know.
Using Self-Employment Experience for Express Entry
If you’re thinking about applying for PR through Express Entry, you can use your self-employment work experience. However, proving this type of experience can be trickier than showing work experience from a regular job. This is because the Canadian government needs to be sure that your self-employment was legitimate and that you actually did the work you say you did.
Why These Documents Are Important
The Canadian government needs to be sure that your self-employment experience is real and that it meets their standards. Having these documents helps prove that your business was legitimate, that you earned money from it, and that you have the experience you claim to have.
Final Thoughts
Applying for PR with self-employment experience can be challenging, but it’s definitely possible if you prepare well. Gathering the right documents and presenting them clearly will make a big difference in your application. If you need help, consider consulting with a professional to make sure everything is in order.
