[Thinkin]

Do we need to submit original employment verification letter, or copies (preferably color copy) of old employment verification letters are acceptable?

You will have to provide Reference Letter, Offer Letter, Recent three months salary slips, promotion letter and Income Tax documents.

Thank you mr.preetsingh, So I take it that copies of the employer letters are fine.

You just need reference in the correct CIC format and that’s it. No need for anything else if the reference letter in the CIC prescribed format.

If someone submits all these documents, the processing of case is faster.

What you claim will speed up processing is not really true, atleast there is no evidence to that effect. In fact I would rather say candidates dumping CIC with unnecessary documents like their kindergarten graduation certificate is slowing down processing not just for the candidate in question but for the entire population.

Let me put in this way.

There are certain employers in market who do not furnish salary details on reference letters, in that case salary slips are required. We have seen in a lot of cases where in VISA officer comes back and asks for salary slips which (in my meaning) delays the processing. So furnishing documents is good for processing.

Did I not say nothing else is required if the letter is in the CIC prescribed format?

Also to prove you were paid you just need your pay stubs + letter (for R&R). Anything else is meaningless.

I give up.

Still if you need any help, please post in this forum and members will respond referring their experiences.

Is experience letter considered as reference letter. I mean, if I have all the CIC needed info ( salary, positions and periods, hours per week) mentioned in the experience lette, is that enough?

Yes it is enough to prove your experience if it is in official company letter head and includes all the info required by IRCC. You Do Not need any other documents, unless visa officer ask at later stage. This is what IRCC wants an applicant to submit-

The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

• a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
  • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
  • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
• if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).

If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).
