1. Average processing time 50 months. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp
2. One of the hardest categories to qualify under.

Self-employed person means a foreign national who:

  • has relevant experience
  • intends and is able to be self-employed in Canada and
  • can contribute to Canada’s economy in one of the required areas.
Relevant experience for a self-employed person means at least two years of experience.

It must be during the period starting five years before the day you apply and ending on the day we make a decision on your application. The experience must be:

  • for cultural activities:
    1. two one-year periods being self-employed in cultural activities, or
    2. two one-year periods participating at a world-class level in cultural activities, or
    3. a combination of a one-year period described in A above, and a one-year period described in B above.

LOL, thank you for your reply, but actually I have read (the official website information) more than a 100 times now. However I also know that there are some people that have reach the whole process done under 12 months despite the period established in the government website.


I do not think this is one of the hardest categories. Let's have a look to this link:

And also this link:

So please I need a more informed reply. Thank you!
