First of all , I dont know if I can duplicate messages (I wrote under business immigration section too.)but I believe both kind of applicants have sth to say about my situation.
I have two bachelors degree that I obtained out of canada (electrical engineering,business administration )
Post graduate degree (centennial college project management)
Good level of english
After graduation I havent worked in any of those field , I started to play poker professionally
so far this year I have made about 90k.
I am quite sure in this specific field of poker I am the most winning canadian this year.
My work permit is going to end on April 2019.
There is a NOC category for poker players (5251-B /athletes/poker player)
The processing time for self employed person is 50 months
So should I apply via express entry or self employed category ?
I am kind of information blind in this case, so any information would help.
on cic website it is written that for CEC self employement hours doesnt count
but I could not see the same note under FSW section , I believe it is gonna count under FSW .
I was self-employed for a year in Canada and a FSW applicant, I can tell you for certain you will not get any points for your Canadian work experience.
If you were self-employed outside of Canada then you could use such work experience to become eligible under the FSW applicant and to claim points for it.
Well your understanding is incorrect as I mentioned that those who are self-employed and who work outside of Canada can claim points and meet the eligibility criteria for the FSW program.
``who are self-employed and who work outside of Canada can claim points and meet the eligibility criteria for the FSW program.``
same condition work inside of Canada not counted??
is this a punishment for living in Canada ?
I have a foreign work experience ,
I have worked a year but about 60 hours per week. if I prove that, is it going to be counted 2 years of work experience or still a year ?
