I currently run a business in my home country and I’m in Canada
What documents do I need to proof my business
And has anyone successfully claimed points for self employment

Do you have a business license?
 
Because It’s a work experience for my express entry
You need references from your clients, contracts, taxes, business registration, online presence like website, etc.

Just be aware that it's really hard case to prove this kind of experience even having all of these, and basically most often it's on officer's discretion.

How “long have you been in Canada and on what status? Do you have any customers or clients in Canada? Assume you are trying to claim points for foreign experience. As you also trying to claim Canadian work experience at the same time?
