Hi All,
I have received my ITA and now only five day is left with me to submit my application. I have few queries and really need guidance on the same.

1. Do I have to include my current employment in work history?I am getting required score without current employment. I don’t want to disclose my PR intentions to my employer so can’t get reference letter.

2. One of my reference letter mentions full time but not hours per week is it ok?

3. One of my employer refused to mention full time or part time or hours/week. Rest everything is in place like job duties etc.

4. My wife is having work experience of 7 years but all outside Canada. So is it ok if I say no work experience in work history and mention all work experience in personal history.

5. I have got funds by selling my shares recently so can’t show that mentaining for last 6months.

Thank you all in advance. I have searched a lot in forums about all these questions and was not able to make decision on basis of any answered already given in different thread.

Really appreciate your all time and guidance!!

1. You do not need to disclose this in your employment history if you are not claiming any points on the basis of your current employment. You would need to disclose this in your personal history though.

2. The number of hours is specifically mentioned as a requirement on CIC website so i would suggest you to get that on your letter.

3. I would suggest getting your employer's refusal on email and submitting that with your application. Also explain in LOE.

4. Again if you are not claiming any points for this then i don't see any problem with your approach.

5. If you can prove the spike in your average balance with sufficient evidence then you should be fine. Just attach the sale documents along with the bank statement which show that the amount credited in your bank statement came from the sale of shares.

Best of Luck.

It's simple:

1 In work history section, only include work experience for which you are claiming points. So, if you have enough points without current employment, don't include it there, and include it only in personal history. In that case, no need for reference letter.

2.Is this reference letter used to prove a work experience for which you are claiming points? If yes, then it's better to add in LOE how many hours you worked, and what's the legal work hours for full-time in your country. If you can, maybe add paytubs, as they often include the number of hours worked. If you're not using this employment in work history section, no need to provide any document related to it.

3.Same as (2)

4.You are correct. For spouse, foreign work experience doesn't get you any points. Answer "No" to the question, and mention all work experience in personal history only.

5.Provide proof of sale of shares with all your POF documents. For that, you can write a section specific LOE, which would be the first page of the pdf for POF. Provide any document related to those shares. You need to show it's not a loan.

@Peacekeeper87

I also had a question if you could kindly answer.

On the PCC that i got it just mentions the period as 2012 to till date. Do you think this can cause any problem as no date or month is mentioned on it.
