Hello to everyone.
I have a question about work experience back in my home country. I worked a bit more than 2 years for a company but my problems is that I was paid in cash (under the table, unfortunately is a common practice in my country for a chef job). I'm able to get a letter of work experience with all the details required by CIC because I have I really good relationship with who was my boss back then( is the owner of the place)
My question is this will be enough or is 100% necesarne the pay slips??

Cheers

No where does IRCC ever state that payslips are required. : )

See "Proof of work experience" -

If the work experience is used to count towards your CRS points, it must be obtained in Canada. If you mention it merely as part of your study/work history, no need to provide any proof.

Please do your research before you give advise. It can be obtained anywhere so far he can prove it

I was approved under CEC stream. The first item in requirement list is "at least 12 months of skilled work experience in Canada, in the last three years (before you apply)" quoted from https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/canadian-experience-class.html

OP posted this under Canadian Experience Class. So it's reasonable to assume that he refers to CEC?
