Hello everyone,

We just submitted our PR application, with my husband as the primary applicant. Me as a spouse was also included in the application as dependent. I have a casual job that lasted for only two months. We did not gain any points for this and the employer is not willing to provide any work reference letter/employment letter, I also did not sign any job offer and salary was only given to me via e-transfer. That’s why I did not include it in any of my info - work exp or personal history as I dont have any docu to support this. Will this be a problem later on or might be a cause of rejection of PR app of my husband? Should we send a webform to disclose this work exp? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes you should declare the experience even not getting points. Would add that unless you are declaring your work as self-employed on your taxes that would be considered working illegally.
