I have been working for a major coorporation as a Business Analyst (Contract Position), and, I have set-up a business and my business has been getting the contract for past three years.

I have submitted the application stating that I am self employed with the contract position as a business analyst. Today I just received a letter stating that I have been refused as self-employed cannot be considered as skilled worker...
I'm puzzled, I thought as long as I have a valid work experience whether it's a contract or "full-time" position, I am able to apply under experienced class status?

Is there anything I can do to reverse their decision??
Should I talk with an immigration consultant?
 
they are right you don't. you need to be in "cultural activities" or own and manage a farm!
why did you apply in that category without prior researsh?
 
oh now I get it, your post confused me for a while.
you are outside Canada, and you are self employed there but you applied as skilled worker.
yes I assure you self employment is not accepted for experience under ANY CATEGORY except self employed immigration which still you can't apply under cause you're a business analyst and not in cultural activities or farms.
I did call them myself and asked them and they told me so.
tough luck, your business "arrangment" worked against your immigration plans.
