Annual Salary Calculation / Reference Letter

[Meighen2]

IRCC website states that reference letters must include "annual salary plus benefits". My employment contract specifies monthly salary. My questions are:

1. How must the "annual salary" be calculated? Is it as easy as multiplying my monthly salary by 12 (e.g., USD 1,000 x 12 = USD 12,000)? Or should it reflect the salary actually received during a particular year (by taking into account paid/unpaid vacations used, etc.)?
2. Can the letter include just monthly salary (or maybe both months and annual salary)?

Thanks!

you can quote the monthly salary received or multiply the average monthly salary by 12 and put. Both the options are good

Hey thanks! The IRCC specifically says it must include "annual salary" though - are you certain it's ok to just refer to monthly salary in the letter?

both the options are good and should be specified. "xxx has worked full time for xx hours and has earned a monthly/yearly remuneration of xxx amount"

Cool, what if I've been working at a job for less than 1 year - e.g., 6 months- should I refer to my annual salary as $6,000 ($1,000x6) or $12,000 ($1,000x12)?

when you put the dates,it implies that you worked for that period, in such case you can as "remuneration earned for that period"
