Hi guys,

Pardon me for my ignorance, but could anyone confirm if OINP requires only last 10 years' employment record or should I try to obtain the reference letter from the employer I left working for 11 years ago ? In fact, this will be a difficult ask.

What I conceived from the OINP application guide is that I have to provide record / reference letter of my complete work history.

Your help might save me a lot of effort.

Cheers!
I have no exact answer to this question, in my case, I am only able to obtain the proper cert letters in the three companies that i have worked with including the current one, however I have some infomal cert letters from all my companies, I too face a very difficult task of obtaining the cert letters to complete before the 14 day deadline , so what I did is focused on the company where I have 6+ year experience and able to get all necessary details , contract letter and proof of compensation.

Yes , I have followed OINp as well, and provide all payslip and statements as much as I can.

Anyone who knows what bank in the Philippines can I get a draft to pay for my fees? Thank you :)
For OINP processing fee? Only Visa or Mastercard credit cards are accepted.

All,

I have a concern regarding referral letters with detailed requirements such as number of hours worked, main duties etc. Below are some details regarding my work history: i just got my NOI last week and quite concerned with the work history section.

2011- present - Company A - I will be able to get the required referral letter (6 years) , payslip , contract
2010-2011 - Company B - I will be able to get the required referral letter (1 year ) , bank deposit , contract
2009-2010 - Company C - worked only here for 9 months, only have certification letter of employment , unable to contact company to request for the detailed referral letter ,
2008-2009 - Company D - worked here for 1 year , 7 mos, only have certification letter of employment , able to contact the company ,but mentioned that letter will be delayed wit unknown timeframe since by former boss is not working there anymore....
2007-2008 - Company E - worked here for 6 months only, only have certification letter of employment , no reply yet from the company regarding the detailed referral letter.
2006-2007 - Company F - worked here for 9 months only, Only have certification of employment , still following up regarding the required referral letter
2005-2006 - Company G - worked here for 1 year , only have certification of employment, and still following up regarding the required referral letter.


For those companies, I maybe able to secure bank deposits copy, payslips and tax notices to prove that I was under their employment.

Also, I dont have any copies of the contract for some companies during 2005-2010.

Any reply or advise is appreciated. understand that OINP requires at least work experience for the last 5 years..so I am not sure whether my present company is enough as I am working here for 6 years..
Hi my friend i wanted to know how did you handle the situation with past work experience where you were not claiming points and did it work? i also received NOI from Ontario and i am claiming only 1 year of experience and have all the docs regarding that.

I still approached all my companies to get the letter of employments or any certification, I dont have payslips on all, but as long as I have what i can, just scan and send it to them, I am not sure how they treat it , or maybe just on a case by case basis

Hi Mark,
I have a query related to oinp work experience and other activities section..
I have all required docs for my current job, but for two of my previous jobs I have absolutely no proof to show that I had worked there. They were small companies where I worked just to gain some experience and understand what it was like to work... Should I add this in work experience or can I add it in other activities section?
In other activities section it clearly mentions to state all other activities other than work and education...

I would just add it on the work experience section , If I remember correctly, on the OINP application, there is a part that you can write something regarding on your application , so you can put your explanation there...
