    IELTS CLB Level 9

    Thank you. I truly agree that the listening test is a test for your memory and attention skills, not solely your English. Also the topics and conversations were completely unfamiliar to me, it almost seemed outdated to me. Anyway I guess I will just have to keep calm and carry on! One last...

    Employment letters: who is accountable for issuing it?

    It also does not make sense to me because the clients did not pay me directly, and the sum they reimbursed the recruitment agency was always higher than what I would be paid by the recruitment agency for the services I provided, because the rec. agency "charged" the clients extra for their...

    Employment letters: who is accountable for issuing it?

    Ok, can you please help me understand why? I would find it more logical to ask the recruitment agency, since they are my main employer. The clients I worked for, are the recruitment agency's clients, not mine, theoretically.

    Regarding documenting work experience

    Thank you for this information. Are you 100% sure about this? I guess I am better safe than sorry. In my country it is also quite unusual to mention the annual salary in the contract. Instead, they mention monthly salary, as well as number of paid vacation days. Would this be OK as a...

    What is a common-law partner?

    According to zardoz, a common-law should be viewed as "married and cohabiting". Not all couples living together for a year or more are at this level in their relationship. I realize that in some countries, cultures or religions this should be the case, but not all. Perhaps the meaning of the...

    What is a common-law partner?

    Thank you for the more thorough information. My concern is also how to prove that I do not have a common-law partner, as I'm sure they may react to that too, given I am living with my partner. If a common-law partner is what scylla mentioned, than you are common-law partners no matter what as...

    What is a common-law partner?

    Hello :) I have two questions regarding the PR-application under the skilled federal worker program in the case that you are given an invitation to apply. 1.) What do they mean with "common-law partner"? Basically, is it enough having lived with your boyfriend for one year? Or do you need to...
