After receiving ITA, what does CIC need to verify your work experience ?

[ahmadka]

Just curious exactly what CIC asks for regarding your prior work experience. Are you experience letters enough, or do you have to submit some other stuff too ? What about for jobs not directly related to your active profession, do you have to submit stuff about that too ? Do they verify internships as well ?

Would really appreciate if some can reply to this ...

I sent a letter signed by my employers with start date, end date, salary, duties, responsibilities, all in company letterhead. If you have pay stubs you should attach them as well.

We had to submit all paystubs, t4s and NOA from the Canada Revenue. Reference and employment letter, wp copy and lmo.

Is there any sample available somewhere which illustrates how such a letter from your employer should be written out, to state your responsibilities, etc ? I can then ask my previous employers to write up a similar letter for me. I know there must be some unwritten requirements for such a letter.



Also, does the title of your post at a company have to match your profession, as far as CIC is concerned ? ... I ask because I'm a professional software developer and my last job (I'm not working currently due to some issues) where I was a "Software Engineer" lasted exactly 1 week less than exactly 3 years (i.e. had I quit exactly 7 days later, I would have been at the company for exactly 3 years!). Before that, I worked at another company for about 3 months where I was a "Design Engineer", and the job involved some research and also programming. Now I'm trying to claim the work experience points for "3 years or more", and I can technically only meet this criteria if CIC also considers my prior "Design Engineer" job as being associated with Software Development. However I wonder that since the title of that prior job wasn't something like "Software Engineer", is there a chance CIC might say that it was a different type of job, and that I can on'y claim points for "2 years" worth of work experience as a software developer ? .... I hope I explained the issue clearly

We didn't claim any foreign experience for EE, but few years ago for WP we submitted all paystubs we had from that job and a recommendation letter from previous employer with start and end date and description of duties.

hi
ive had same problem. I didnt claim any points for foreign experience. After ITA i put in work history all my experience, then in personal activities almost the same (so both forms matched together).After, when i saw document checklist i had almost heart attack cause they asked about proof of every employment. i dont have any proofs of employment back home, so i back into work history and i delete all employment back home. i left only canadian experience (i have points for this and i have to upload proof of this)
same was with supouse school. Same - i dont have those diplomas here (in Canada). I dont have time to ask someone to send it to me and then translate. i just delete this as well.

I guess as much as documentation you can provide, coz giving tax slips in addition to pay stubs makes your case more stronger.

On a lighter note, I have never seen CIC rejecting any case due to more documentation

Can someone please answer my question too, from 4 posts above ?

Canadian work experience? No problem! They gloss over it.
Foreign work experience from New Zealand, Australia, USA, Western European countries? Should be fine!
Otherwise: They go through it with a fine comb.

What of from the UK?

Nope the UK is in Northern Europe, however it was part of Western Europe from 1945-1991.

I don't think it's any problem - you have to prove only what u claimed points for. We wrote down our work history for last 10 years ad the lawyer asked, but attached only caadian experience proving paperwork.
