The Self-employed Persons Program allows self employed people to immigrate to Canada permanently.
If you’re interested in this program, you must:
have relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics and
be willing and able to make a significant contribution to the cultural or athletic life of Canada
Relevant experience for a self-employed person means at least two years of experience in the past 5 years from the date of your application. You can get more points if you have 3, 4, or 5 years of experience.
Experience must be in one of these areas:
self-employment in cultural activities or athletics or,
participating in cultural activities or athletics at the world-class level
Types of Self-Employed Programs
Federal Self-Employed Program
Using a point-based grading system to assess the eligibility of business immigration applicants, the Federal Self-Employed Persons Program also requires applicants to possess a two years of relevant work experience within their field as a proof that they can be gainfully self-employed in any Canadian province except Quebec. To be eligible, the applicant must get at least 35 points out of 100 points.
Quebec Self Employed Program
Somewhat similar to its federal counterpart, the Quebec Self-Employed Program requires applicants to demonstrate their ability to be successfully self-employed within their industry. This program also imposes a minimum net worth requirement of $100,000, and as with all of this province’s immigration programs, the intent to reside in Quebec.
Provincial Nominee Programs for Self Employed Workers
If an applicant wishes to settle in a particular province, they may choose to apply under its own Self-Employed stream of the Provincial Nominee Program. Each province and territory have its own set of eligibility requirements and selection criteria, though there are often many eligibility overlaps that can be seen in other business immigration streams, such as years of experience and proof of personal funds.

How can we help?
Generally self-employed people are not directly employed with an employer and therefore, it becomes a big challenge (in terms of documentation) to demonstrate that they meet the minimum experience requirements of the self-employed program. We help self-employed people in gathering the documentation as per their profile. The self-employed program seems to be quite easy, but preparing a good application is a big challenge. The effort is on the applicant to prove that they meet the program criteria and will be able to create their own employment in Canada. We prepare the application based on our client’s profile and comprehensive research to prove that how they will settle themselves in Canadian job market.
