Case when Company got shut!

[Anand83]

Hi Team,
I got ITA and I have started filling my e-APR. In ITA I had shown all my past companies that I genuinely worked with.
But, last week only I came to know that my first company(worked during 2008-2009) got shut. It was a small company during that year(20-30 headcounts).
So please advise, should I still show this company in my Work History? What is acceptable to Officer in this case?

Note: I do have an offer letter and luckily salary slips, but I can't provide the reference letter for this company.

Please suggest


Thanks,
Anand

Just provide whatever you can, such as the offer letter and pay slips. Make sure you state clear what happened in your LOE.

Ok Thanks
PAINKILLER28! So it's not advisable to remove it from Work History and move to Personal history, right?

 

[PAINKILLER28]

Keep this in mind, you have to disclose those work history with IRCC, i would strongly advise against hiding any past history. Just let IRCC know what happened and be honest about it, it's much better than try hiding it since it will be so much more trouble if they find out.

Ok . thanks. Even if that work history is after 10+years?

 

[PAINKILLER28]

For PR applications IRCC requires any applicant to disclose all information like work and address history for the last 10 years or since you are 18, whichever is the closest. So there you go.
