Hello, I am a software developer on Upwork. I have a few questions.
  • I have 2 clients. With 1 client I have worked continuously for more than 4 years. But with the other client I have worked on and off for over the period of 3 years. Should I only use my 1st client in my EE profile? Or Can I use both of these jobs in my experience even though with the second client it was not continuous work?
  • With my first client I have worked 30 hours per week. Is it sufficient?
  • My clients are giving me work experience/reference letters. And I have all the payslips with me. But I want to know whether we are required to show all of the payslips or only some of them?
  • In case of freelancing, is there any specific amount per year that freelancers should earn in order to be eligible to enter the pool?
  • When we fill the work experience, there are two fields: country and city. Should I write my country name and city name aur the client's country name and city name?
  • Is freelancing considered as self employment?
  • I have been told that we shouldn't show the name of such a platform in our EE profile. Is it true that it will not be accepted?
TIA.

This is from IRCC:
"if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience)."
