About to ask the same question. We are also now start gathering the documents required but how do we really have to get things started like how and where to begin? We've already printed the documents from CIC. Afterwards, what's next? Filling out the form. Gather all the required documents. After, where to? Hope someone here can help. Thank you again in advance.

Hello how's your application going? Your application seems moving forward pretty fast. Happy for you! Did you apply via online or mail? And if you don't mind me asking in what province you are planning to reside?

There is not much of information available online regarding this particular case online and on this forum either.
Therefore my goal is to share what I have experienced when applying from Pakistan.

Case Overview:
I have prior employment experience in Pakistan and then I started working as a self-employed person in UK, running a Limited company. It has been 3 years since I have been self-employed.

On the points table this is my situation.

Points break down:
  • experience - 3 years - pts 25
  • education
  • age - 10
  • language abilities - pts 10
  • adaptability -pts 5
Points acquired 50/100 ( * required 35)

Documents submitted:

Experience:
  1. Company registration details.
  2. Invoices of the big clients from the past 3 years.
Age:
  • NIC (Applicant and Spouse)
Language:
  • IELTS
Adaptability:
  • WES result for my Spouse
Supporting Documents:
  • 2 Medical Certificates.
  • All photocopies were attested.
  • Total 4 photographs 2 from applicant and 2 from a spouse.
  • Birth Certificate
  • Had a maintenance of equivalent to 3 people.
  • Marriage Certificate
  • 2 Police Certificate
So, this is the complete list of documents which I submitted based on imm5784e-Checklist and provided the evidence that I am more than capable of supporting myself as I have already established a good business in UK.

I submitted my application on 18/06/2018.

Please do check out this forum, as this helped me a lot with my application.
