No - it doesn't. Have you researched the requirements for the self-employment immigration program? They are very specific and only open to specific professions.

Yes I have researched the requirements. Yes it is open to that profession.
But, sad to know from you that this work experience doesn't qualify.

Anyways, thank you for your quick respond, scylla.

It may count if it's in the right field - what field is it in? Your post made it sound like the experience was in a business / financial / consulting field which wouldn't qualify.

Why not self employed ?
Self-employed as the name implies means you are employed by yourself i.e you own and run your own business. If however your wife is a co-owner not employee i.e salary earner of your business then she'll qualify. It really depends on how you're able to package and present your application. Is her name listed on the company registration documents? If yes then that will count for something. I hope this helps.
