Would it be a right move to write a correction/explanation letter, and an updated copy of the IMM 0008 form, as soon as possible to the corresponding visa-office to correct this entry in order to avoid possible rejection?

windtunnel, would you mind telling which visa-office you submitted your documents to? Maybe we can get an idea which visa office does allow this practice? I also placed "PRESENT" in my current work experience and it's only now that I learned about those getting rejected, as you said, because...

professional 1, I think you already made your point sufficiently that CIC assessment is based on experience within the past 10 years on a NOC-defined skill. Thanks, I really appreciate your help. :)

Thanks jes_ON. I submitted my application to the London visa-office. The visa-office-specific guide for London applicants doesn't mention "for the past 10 years" in the document list for letters of reference, unlike in Buffalo. "7. WORK EXPERIENCE For you, the principal applicant: • notarized...

professional 1, I appreciate your detailed answer. It's becoming apparent that we are talking about 2 different subjects. You're discussing mostly about the assessment criteria, which is all well and good. But I am just asking about the correct documents to be submitted. If jes_ON has that...

jes_ON, Can you kindly show the link to this document? The documents I have doesn't specifically mention "for the past 10 years". Thanks!

According to CIC news, only those applicants received on or after February 27, 2008 are subjected to this criteria: http://www.cicnews.com/2008/12/canada-immigration-finally-announced-outlook-2009-12688.html This is mentioned twice in the article. On the 5th paragraph: "Federal Skilled Worker...

There an active thread with this same situation. Here's the link: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/my-application-sent-back-reason-t27272.0.html

Possibly there is a difference in procedures because I applied under the Simplified Application Process, which was implemented from Sep. 01, 2006 until February 26, 2008. My NOC is not included in the 38 priority list but I think it's ok because my application is before the cutoff date for the...

Thanks for the input Albularyo. This is exactly what I wanted to know. AOR is Acknowledgment Of Receipt right? I already got mine last February 25, 2008, just before the cutoff for the new policy (38 priority list), would you believe it haha. Anyway, it didn't mention anything about the...

Well, the answer to your question is, both. It IS the real reason, because my work in both instrumentation and electronics are not supporting the NOC (telecommunications) I declared in my application. And also I am having other difficulties, such as contacting my previous employers as I am...

Thanks windtunnel! As you mentioned that... ...If I am not able to provide reference letters from my previous employers in my 2 older work experiences (Electronics & Instrumentation), would the reason "Reference letters not provided because work experience is not related to the NOC I declared...

Yes I am aware of it... thanks PMM, I was just wondering where professional1 got the idea of sending reference letters for only 4 years. Maybe he used this procedure and was approved?

So you're saying that an applicant need only to submit reference letters that support the NOC they declared in the application? Then what about other previous work/job that are not related to the NOC, are these not required to have letters of reference / certificates of employment as well?

Does anybody have any idea on this?

Does this mean that he doesn't have to present Reference Letters for all companies he was employed with in the past 7 years? Why only 4 years? Please clarify, I'd really appreciate it. Can you kindly provide the link in the CIC website that says this? Thanks!

Thanks windtunnel... Do you think this is common practice for an applicant to draft similar Letters of Reference for different work experiences? In your case, did you draft your reference letters from the companies you worked with? Or did you let them make the letters for you?

Thanks for the reply guys! I've another question... For the Letters of Reference, I am thinking of drafting the same format in the general body of the letter (info that states the information required by CIC) for my current job and previous jobs. I can just talk to my previous superiors about...

Ok. I did get the Employment Certificates from my previous jobs but those are dated at the time of my resignation from each company (1996-Electronics and 1992-Instrumentation). Do you think these are acceptable? Or should I still get new certificates? I am concerned about this because the...
