Hello everyone,
This is related to my Work History section in my Canadian Express Entry invitation.
I have gathered the necessary letters of reference for all the jobs I've had in the past 10 years in Canada. However, when it comes to my work as a Background actor, when I asked my talent agency to provide a letter of reference. They mentioned that as a 'talent' I am considered self-employed and their job was representing me.
So that means a production company asks talent agencies for actors, the talent agency that represents me offers me as an actor, and then I would go on to work for a day on their set, and get paid directly by that production company. Therefore the talent agency cannot provide me with a Letter of Reference as I was never their 'employee'
Do I just not list this kind of work under work history? Otherwise how am I supposed to supply a letter of reference because in this case I would not be given one since I was just 'represented' and not an employee?
Please advise. Thank you for your time.
