Working as an art teacher having 5 years of experience . And also these 5 years i have been giving private coaching to students and selling my paintaing to the clients as per their order. What are my chances ?

Please clarity ....do we need to get our educational documents evaluated (WES evaluation)?

[@izahermogenes]

How about if I am a worldwide cruise ship musician does that qualify as a worldwide cultural experience?

[@kambysworld-aguidetosecond8215]

Please make video for merchant navy sailor professionals because mariners work on contract basis 6months on and 6months off. So as per ircc it becomes difficult to prove the work experience for fsw EE profile. I hope this comment reaches you.

hello, I am a musician and performed at a world-class level as a drummer for the last 10years with many other renowned artists n traveled around the world performing with them also I got 6.5band in IELTS and have done my Master degree as well as so I want to ask you is this the program for me? and if anyone comes in Canada as a self-employed but if you don't get work in your starting months as self-employed then are we allowed to do a part-time job to get our living ??

[@ziemowitfincek4060]

Just one question. You've mentioned about no need for WES for your Master's or PHD? Did I understood that correctly? Just english translation of the diplomas would be enough?

[@CreateWithShank]

Hey, great video! Assuming that I meet all the criteria, how much financial capability do I need to show for this kind of program? As in funds to support myself.

Sir My Question is that spouse can work in any field or he or she should also be a Self employees

[@sundarihema25]

Being self employed and that too from india, Its hard to be self employed here as an artist. It is next to impossible that the person is getting full time work as an artist too. With covid, I think many of us have been home bound and dependent on parents because of lack of work. Even locally we werent able to work, How can we work internationally? Most of the international projects got shelved because of the pandemic. Foreign artists have stopped hiring artists from far away countries because of Covid scare. Can you explain if the pandemic is considered?

I'm a founding member of a production house that produces short films videos for more then 2 years. I had also directed some short films and worked in the related sector like cinematography,editing videos. I have my work portfolio but don't have the prove of income. Am i eligible for self employment ?

[@trishabose7001]

Hi thank you for this video. As a visual artist, does it make more sense for me to apply through the Federal Self Employed Category? Or should I apply through Express Entry since apparently that is also an option? Which category is more likely to get me a PR? Thank you once again, I really appreciate your time and expertise.

Well if a person having age of 22 years played boxing at national level representing as sportsmen from a top class university of country in national level games (not world class level) or college from last 4 or 5 years and he's still sportsman or athlete of that particular university and now he is providing services of physical fitness or personal training to his clients at their residence from last 6 months, he will be called self employed or athlete ? In which category he'll be easy ? And his profile is good to apply for immigration ? How much money to show that a person can live in Canada without job after reaching there ? how much fee required ? When will this scheme get close ?

[@gisellesuarez6893]

Dear Rashid, do you recommend me to take the IELTS here in my country? I know that it's cheaper than if I take it abroad. Or is it enough to have my B2 level? I'd like to take it, though. I feel eager to that:)

If the primary applicant, Artist gets a work permit, is it possible to do graduate studies alongside as well as being self employed in Canada. Can the spouse accompany the primary applicant. If the primary applicant gets a work permit through this self employed stream, can the spouse have his/her separate Express Entry profile or should that be removed.

Hi Rashid. Thanks for the great video. Could you please confirm if I understand correctly. Is the English test optional.? So if you get over 35 points without it, is it possible to forgo the ILETS test? Thank you.

HI do you know the success rate? My hubby is a columnist, a licensed ski and diving coach with around five years of experience. Is he qualified under this program. thanks!

[@irenehay]

Hi Rashid. 1 more question. What about domestic partners for this program?Is it necessary to show 1 year living together before submission of the documents or by the time the decision is made, since this is taking so long? Alternatively, is it possible to add the person at a later stage when it has been one year of living as a family. I appreciate you response.
