- aside form moving receipts of expenses, do I need any other files on record about my move
It doesn't matter that you are self-employed. Did you earn income at the new location? If so, you can claim moving expenses.

The wording here "run a business at a new location" sounds like you would qualify.
If you simply moved closer to an existing location, the expenses would not qualify.
Edited to add: moving expenses can be carried forward for 2016 tax year too.

Since the credit is reliant on how much income was earned at the new location. it is unlikely that CRA will allow moving expenses. You have to have a new job in order to allow the expenses.
