As for the Letter of Explanation, what should i try to include in it, Is there a format ?
As 'darklord' says there is no specific format but here is what I included. Hope it helps you.
1) Copy of Working Visa and copy of Working Visa stamp in Passport
2) Copy of Language Test results
3) List of Academic documents which had only my first name and surname (not middle name) due to my University policy of only including 'First Name' and 'Surname' on academic documents
4) Details of my overseas address (and associated reference letters from my landlord)
5) Details of my Canadian address (and associated reference letters from my landlord)
6) Letters of 'Good standing' for the professional accounting bodies I am a member with (in Australia and in Canada)
7) Conclusive proof that I am intending to reside in a different part of the province I'm currently living in (due to my new office location)
8) Details of the 3 part-time accounting jobs I held for short duration (ie less than 3 months) and the fact that I worked less than 15 hrs in each of those jobs (hence reflected in 'Personal' rather than 'Work' history
9) Total work days in Canada and reference to the fact I only accepted my ITA after working for over '365' days in Canada
10) Date I became qualified to practice in this occupation as 'Date graduated from University' not 'Date I completed my CA' since this is the stipulated minimum qualification as stated in (NOC 1111). Also attached NOC 1111 for reference
11) Travel History broken down into the following:
- All countries traveled to
- Countries which had Entry & Exit stamp on the passport
- Countries which only had Entry but not Exit stamp on the passport
- Countries where passport not stamped at all
- Detailed Tour Itineraries for every country visited over the last 10 years
12) Reference to Australian Police Certificate and why I had it sent to my parents address in Australia for them to forward onto me (rather than sending to Canada) as I was working as an Auditor and travelling to Inter-Province clients and staying in hotels for the tenure of the audit. Also reference to the fact the PCC was issued after my last visit to Australia
If you have any questions please let me know.
PS - sorry I cannot do anything about the number (8) appearing as a Smiley face. I really don't know why this happens.
