Canada allows you apply for a Permanent Residency if you're self-employed in the cultural or athletic sector. This means that you have experience working for yourself over a period of time.
Why Would You Do Self Employed Visa Evaluation?
The evaluation is necessary that you would know whether you qualify to apply for a Canadian Self Employed Visa. To apply for the visa means you would have to commit monetary effort and time. It is devastating when you're rejected from what you applied for. So, it is better you know beforehand if it's necessary to apply. Thus, the evaluation.
To whom it is Applicable?
The self-employed visa is not for everybody. In fact, you don't only need to be self-employed but also need to be self-employed in the right industry. The industry includes cultural and athletic. You must be at least self-employed for 2 years before applying for a Canada Self Employed Visa.
The Canada self-employed visa works on a selective basis where you get points to see if you qualify. The maximum point you would accrue is 100, but the Canadian authority says 35 points is a pass mark.
The Criteria for Selection is given below:
Selection Criteria | Maximum Possible Points |
Experience | 35 |
Education | 25 |
Language proficiency | 24 |
Age | 10 |
Adaptability | 6 |
Total | 100 |
