Hello! Guys. I have a question about eligibility to Express Entry. I am interested in applying for the Express Entry but I dont have continuous 1 year of experience. I do have aggregated experience of about 3-4 years but my most recent experience since 2013 is a Founder of a gaming company/website. The website has not made much money but it is still live. I have worked as a Project Manager learning and managing project. The problem is my company is a 1 man company (just me). I am also a developer, so I have worked on games. However, I have hired a graphic designer in past for my project, so that is the only reference I can use to show that I have worked. My question is, can I use this only reference to show that I have worked as a Project Manager/Developer for my company and that I am the owner of this company. If so under what class or category (NOC) will I be applying for PR ? Also, does salary/income affect the eligibility for PR in anyways. Please let me know if you know anything about this. What kind of documents can I show to prove that I own a website / online business and that I have been operating it as a Founder/Project Manager/Developer since 2013 ?
Thanks

About my company - it is a gaming website / company not registered but the website was launched in 2013 and I have that as a proof. I have some IT returns but i am not confident of showing them as my income has not been good. Your input is appreciated.

I do have aggregated experience of about 3-4 years but my most recent experience since 2013 is a Founder of a gaming company/website. [it looks like NOC 2174 matches with your profile, however double check. Make sure you have continuous work experience and meet other requirements here - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html]. The website has not made much money but it is still live. I have worked as a Project Manager learning and managing project. The problem is my company is a 1 man company (just me) [you might have to show your company tax documents to prove if it is a registered company and that you are the owner]. I am also a developer, so I have worked on games. However, I have hired a graphic designer in past for my project, so that is the only reference I can use to show that I have worked. My question is, can I use this only reference to show that I have worked as a Project Manager/Developer for my company and that I am the owner of this company [see 2nd response]. If so under what class or category (NOC) will I be applying for PR ? [see 1st response] Also, does salary/income affect the eligibility for PR in anyways. [No] Please let me know if you know anything about this. What kind of documents can I show to prove that I own a website / online business and that I have been operating it as a Founder/Project Manager/Developer since 2013 ? [see 2nd response, somebody had a similar situation with respect to employment reference letter, it might be a good idea to directly write to that person - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-get-employment-reference-letter-for-own-company.466918/]
