Hi everyone,

I was working in Johnson&Johnson who assigned by the employment agency. The agency used the job title Office clerk (NOC type C) when i first joined the position but my real duty was Administrative Assistant. (Type B)

My team leader from J&J agreed to write me an employment letter using the title/duties of Admin Assistant and matched the 70% duties with NOC.

I will submit two letters. One is from agency to claim my salary, date, relationship with Assigned company. Another letter from J&J to state my title, duties, hours and relationship with agency.

However, there are two problems.

1 - My agency still used office clerk for their computer record and I am afraid if CIC call them one day. I already called them to change but they still have office clerk in history. My admin position only effective after I called which is almost 11 months of my job. But J&J never mention office clerk on their letter and state my admin assistant position in my first day.

2 - I am no longer work at J&J because my product's division moved out of Canada business recently, so the whole department basically just gone and everyone got layoff. I already worked more than 1 year here and I am currently working Junior Accountant in other large corporate.

Am I going to be okay? Thanks

Ah, this is going to be tricky, no one can tell you it will be OK with any certainty. You do need both letters, and the job duties and responsibilities from the client (J&J) should carry weight.

You can only try. What is your CRS score with and without that job?

Without that job, I only have 420 points...otherwise I have 445 points (which is today standard)

The letter itself looks perfect....I just afraid CIC will call agency and the agency database may show Accounting clerk in their system.

Will CIC call agency or assigned company in this case? I think CIC care duties more than title? And only assigned company can verifty my actual duties?


Official Letter From Agency
  • I am an employee since 2016 to end date
  • My assignee company name - Johnson & Johnson
  • My position at the assigned company - Administrative Assistant
  • My pay + benefits + hours per week
Official Letter From Company
  • My relationship between Agency and J&J , agency name
  • Start date - End date - Working hours per week
  • My title - Administrative Assistant
  • My duties - listed in detail

I think you're fine, as long as your duties / responsibilities match the Admin Assistant NOC...

it really depends on Visa officer decision.. make sure the letter provides all the information that IRCC is looking for (Duties, duration, position, company info etc...)

EE information should aligned with your employment letter

I put the agency location because they are the one paid me

Hi all,I am working in IT for one of MNC through an Employment agency. I got an employment letter from my agency, but they have mentioned open-ended assignment in my employment letter, as this is a contractual job on T4.

Can anybody suggest me, is this letter will be considered for my Canada PR. It has written open ended assignment keyword instead of full time or permanent employee.

All other job duties, job title, employee no. employer details are mentioned.

This is what written in the start of my employment letter:

"xxxx Canada Inc. has employed Mr. xyz on an open-ended assignment since July 18,
2024. Mr. xyz is paid an hourly rate of $xx.00, and works on average 40 hours per week at
our client site as a PowerBI Support Engineer."

Please suggest me if this letter will work or I need to make some changes in it.
