applying a canadian visa proof of work?

[boomsalvador]

I am a freelance webdesigner and programmer in the Philippines and I am about to apply for a Canadian tourist visa here in the states as I am only a tourist here in the US. I already have a bank statement of my sister to show that she will support me.The question is What will I put in the work status on the application. I am self employed or running a business? But i don't have any income tax returns nor business permit. I only have a business name registration of my freelance webdesign company..Also is it better if I open a bank account here in the US just have a show money even if my sister is going to support my trip to canada.? ------

• Passport with at least six months validity
  Please note that the Canadian High Commission does not accept additional pages inserted into passports. If you do not have a blank page to which a visa can be affixed, a new passport must be obtained before submitting your application.
  
  If possible, a passport should be valid for the duration of study in Canada, as the validity of a study permit cannot exceed the validity of the passport.
• Relevant Fee
  Fully completed application form appropriate to the type of visa requested with two original passport-size photographs [NB: digital photographs not acceptable]
