Hello! Guys. So here is my question. 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.

Recommend you spend more time researching Canada's immigration programs to understand what it takes to qualify.

You don't meet the requirements of the Federal Self Employment stream - so that's not an option. For the Investor / Entrepreneur classes you have to have at least a few hundred thousand dollars to invest in a business you plan to start in Canada. Do you have these kinds of funds available to invest in starting a business in Canada? There's also the Start Up visa - however that also requires you to start a business in Canada and as a first step requires you to find a venture capital firm willing to partner on your business idea.
