Hi

If anyone can share his experience how CIC verified work experience..

Do they ask for bank statement, salary slips, contact employer in-person or through phone call.. Etc ??
 
They ask for a letter of reference from the employer, with very specific instructions on what is to be included in the letter, as well as paystubs (salary slips), and whatever other documents you can provide as proof (for example, if the experience is in canada you might submit T4 statements and an ROE is applicable). They also may or may not contact the employer directly, it is up to the agent. Contact is likely by phone, email and/or letter.

Here are the instructions (as of May 22nd) from the document checklist:
"You must provide proof of each of your current and previous work experiences.
Your evidence should include a reference letter from your employer and previous pay stubs, where available.
The reference letter is an official document printed on company letterhead and must include your name, the company’s contact information (address, telephone number and e-mail address), the signature of your immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company and a business card of the person signing the letter. The letter should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties/responsibilities, job status (if current job), the dates you worked for the company, the number of work hours per week and your annual salary plus benefits."
 
meaning that you have NO record of it at all?

I'm not sure what you would do in that case. What proof would you be able to provide? Would the company write you a detailed letter?

Would a job contract do?
If it includes duties, vacation, salary, and signed by supervisor and myself?

Also, for my foreign work experience, i was barely able to get a letter (on company letter head) with salary, date I joined (not when I left), no duties, just an incomplete title that doesn't reflect the friggin NOC. They are not flexible, and their english is horrible. It's easier to omit that job altogether to be honest (doesn't add to my score as its less than a year) but I worry it would be misrep to omit.

I strongly discourage you from omitting that job, or anything at all. Above all else, be honest!

Generally speaking, if you do your best to collect as much proof of the employment as possible, and write a letter explaining what is missing, you should be fine. It becomes more complicated if the work experience in question is THE work experience that makes you eligible. For example, if you only have one full year of experience and you are applying based on it, you may have trouble if you can't prove it in a satisfactory way. BUT, if the experience is secondary (meaning you would technically be eligible if you didn't mention this experience at all) then you should be fine provided you are honest, and provide as much detail as possible. Remember to write a letter explaining what is missing, and include whatever you do have.

Thank you for your response, that really helped.. :)
 
The employer will provide detailed letter mentioning job description as well. I have salary slips as well for almost 3 & half years.

As long as you have the letter and salary slips that is all you need. I don't imagine it matters much how you were paid (cheque, direct deposit, or cash) as long as everything is legal and you have the proof required...i.e. the letter from the employer and the pay slips.
 
Dear Forum Members,

I was working on a third party payroll for company XYZ. My manager in company XYZ has refused to provide me the reference letter(with job duities,salary etc.) and wants me to get all the documentation from the third party company(since I was on their payroll).The third party company is saying that they can only provide me the relieving letter and not the reference letter(with job duities,salary etc.)

Please advise what I can do so that I can include this experience while applying for PR.
