You would have received this if you claimed points for self employed.

1. You can prepare one yourself, however, if you get one from the company who was your client, on their letter head and with your job duties, that would be ideal.

2. As long as your clients can affirm, and you can substantiate it with your business, by showing lease for business, business registration , etc, you ill be fine. IRCC states:

  • if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
3. Lines of business means what all did you do as a part of your business. Eg. If you were a medical doctor, what kind of patients you treated and what procedures you had. If you were an engineer, what kind of work you did, as in your specialisation, the consultations you gave and the projects you undertook.

Could IRCC also ask for the above information when points are not being claimed for self employment activity listed in personal history please?

Just gave IRCC another call today, the man who answered the call is totally unskilled. Not even ask my name or application number, and I ask him to help to check my status and he said what you see on the website is your application status. And I say if I can see into my files why I need to call your guys multi times and wait 1 hour to get a callback. He said, "Good question"... What a silly answer.
Past calls are good but this one totally 0/10. Wish I can record and report him.
I don't know why he gives me a callback more than an hour after I called them and give me useless answers.
My AOR is 27 OCT 2020
even all my stages are passes got to know from an agent 2 weeks ago and she mentioned that waiting for final decision.
i dont understand why there are taking so long for just the final decision.

IRCC can ask for any information during the processing of your application. If the questions you got do not apply to your situation, then you can send a replay and seek a clarification.
