Hi everyone, newbie here, this is a silly question but I'm creating my EE profile right now and have some queries:

(1) Im from BJ China and came to singapore when i was very young (I'm a singaporean now). On my Chinese birth cert it says that i was from another province in China - I was only born there but spent all my time in BJ. Should I indicate BJ or the other province, and will CIC need to see my Chinese birth cert? (again, i've had Singaporean citizenship since I was in my teens).

(2) For the past 1.5 years I've been working as a freelancer. I am not claiming points for this, but for the jobs before that (perm job, 4 years of experience). Should I indicate my job status between 2016-2017, that I'm currently self employed? Will it affect my chances?

2- Don't mention it in work history unless you're incorporated. Once you get ITA add it to your personal history

Thank you! But I'm worried what if CIC thinks I'm unemployed from 2016-now? Will it affect my chances? :/
 
No because CIC will ask for proof for up to 3 year of work history. Then afterwards you'll have to fill your personal history where you will include everything
