The self-employed category has been
redefined in order to only include immigrants who can make an artistic
or cultural contribution, farmers and world class athletes.
<Who can apply as a Self-Employed Immigrant>
A self-employed person means an immigrant who
- intends and has the ability to create an employment opportunity
for him/herself and will make a significant contribution to the cultural
or artistic life of Canada; or
- intends and has the ability to establish
or purchase an agricultural business in Canada that will create
an employment opportunity for him/herself.
The self-employed person who meet the definition then will be assessed against five selection factors. The pass mark is 35 points.
