Hello,

My only main question is regarding skilled work experience,

How a letter of employment looks like, coz i got mine they just wrote basic info for eg my salary,position,dates worked (there are no job duties and responsibilities) Do i need to ask them to add the duties and responsibilities?

Plus i have another job which is my current job, do i need to do the same with that too? that is just 8 months period till yet?

Thanks

Yes, absolutely. This is how IRCC determines whether or not you have skilled work experience.

See the section "Proof of Work Experience" on this page for all required details. For example, you need to also include hours worked per week.

If you want the experience to be counted, then yes, of course, you need to do the same.

Thanks

I do not know your complete employment history or what you are claiming points for, so I don't know how to answer your question.

But if your question is "Do I get more points with 1.75 years compared to 1 year" the answer is no. But if there are any questions about your 1 year, it gives you a buffer.

Already did on your other thread -

BTW - you need to be a lot more precise - when you say "6 months" I don't know if you mean 26 weeks or not. You need a minimum of one full year (52 weeks) of experience based on exact start and end dates.
