PR Application Refused

I just received notice that my PR application as a member of the Self-Employed persons Class has been refused. They say that my skills are not in demand in Canada (I am Graphic Designer/Animator), they also say that they don't see evidence I can make a significant contribution to the graphic design/animation industry in Canada and so, that my evidence does not demonstrate the definition of self-employed person.

Is there a way to ask for a change in the application Class to Skilled worker? Should I re-apply as a Skilled worker and wait all this years again? What options do I have?

Thanks for any insight

1. Your application is refused, you can't "change over", you have to reapply as FSW if you are eligible.

Thanks for the reply. I will reapply as FSW NOC 2174.

Can I ask for my documents back? Do they return them? most documents are copies but there are some originals that I would like to keep.
