Hello,

I got an ITA in late March, so I have been trying to get all the documents needed for my application. I finally got the reference letter from my employee in the required format; however, I have some problems filling the form for my ePR.
The thing is that I have been employed in the same company for about 10 years, hired under the same position. The issue is that I have been switching in many departments during these ten years. In my Express Entry profile, I only reported the time I have stayed in my current department. However, the reference letter issued by my employer has all my activities in all the departments I have been during the last ten years.
My question is that if I should include all the positions I have had with my current employer while filling my ePR form or should I indicate only one position. If I mention all the different departments that I have been, as referred in my letter, will I have to upload a reference letter coming from each department?
By the way, just for reference, the letter was issued by the human resource department of my company. Thanks in advance!

Does the letter differentiate between the positions. like position 1, duration 1, duties 1, position 2, duration 2, duties 2 ...? Based on the job duties wording, do you fall into different NOC categories?

Depending upon the wording of the letter, you can either include it as one single experience in one single NOC or separate experiences under separate NOCs. The important thing (assuming FSW) is to have one year continuous experience in your primary NOC and total 3 years or more in any NOC within the last 10 years.

Thanks for your answer! Yeah, my reference letter does differentiate each position and the duties I performed in each of them. However, the duties all fall into the same NOC. Does this mean that I only need to report one employment?

Yes. As long as the NOC is the same and there is no gap between them, you can report it as one single experience. Make sure you explain this in your letter of explanation.
