It Makes sense, but it's not just pub gigs it is my job, I charge money to do it, so I've been doing that for years, I also write book in my mother language.
I thank you so much for your "advices" but what I need from you (don't get me wrong please, I'm saying that to you in a respectful and polite way) what I need from you is not the assessment of what I do as self-employed person, but what NOC should I use in my application. Can I use both NOCs? related to Music and Literary industry? Has anyone been approved on this category putting in the application multiples NOCs and Skills? If you can answer this Question Theguv I will appreciate, you are unable to answer I also appreciate.
I think maybe you should bring your concerns to some professional register immigration consultants, It will cost you a little bit of money but definitely worse. They will balance all your situations and gives your advice because you could find that the word defines eligibility candidates using in relative experience is !! OR !!, which means you may be taken part in cultural activities or athletics at a world-class level OR self-employed in those relative areas. The magic words ''or'' would change everything.
Of course, the competition is obvious, absolutely it is not easy. But what I try to say is the advice from competitors and from a professional thrid-part consultant or organization will totally different, because they may start from different angles. Just try to figure out the real possibility from your self, everyone's situation is different. Good luck!

Hi,
Im from Pakistan with 5+ years of Upwork (Top Rated) and Direct International US EU CA AU Clients. I design and develop their websites and they can help me with providing all the necessary letters (as I have a lot of clients and made a decent money these years). I can prove all the work experience with banking transactions from all these businesses. I have a decent IELTS as well as I'm an Electrical Engineer. Ideally my best suitable NOC is 2175 but for SE I have some duties under 5241. So I will go with 5241, my questions are:
1) Am I eligible for this stream?
2) What does it mean by World Class...? I don't have any worldwide official recognition but yes worldwide clients and plenty of reviews + $$$.
3) Would I still be able to apply in parallel for EE (trying to improve ielts to get into OINP EE directly) with noc 2175? as some part of it is in 5241 for SE.
Yes, I am. I am is a TV commercial music composer(sorry I forget the specific NOC for it) and I submitted the application on Nov 2018 current stage is MEP (Medical examination pass), still wait for next instruction.
