Hello,

I wish to remove my spouse's ~2 years of workex from her personal & work history section in the PR application form. Reason being she had to leave her firm post an altercation with the manager. I am not claiming any points in CRS from my spouse's work ex. However, need clarification on the following -

- i fear that if IRCC does background checks on my spouse's personal history, they might get in touch with this employer and it could have a negative effect on the application. How stringent are these checks? At what level are these checks done for a spouse (who is not a principal applicant)?

- This experience was in the U.S. Does IRCC have access to US SSN# of candidates? Even if i plan to add these details, would the checks be as simple as calling company's HR and ask "did she work there"? Or would it be much more detailed?

Please guide.

I believe u can remove it from work ex but need to show in personal history.
More over the checks are limited to knowing if the work ex mentioned is true and nothing beyond.

Secondly these checks are for principal applicants and not for accompanying spouses/partners

good luck

Thanks @jackdawn. This helps.

If I mention it in personal history but remove from work history, wouldn't it be a conflict? And probably create a doubt in their mind as to why have I not put the same experience in work history?

U can remove it from work ex and put it in personal history as long as u are not claiming any points for that, write an LOE and that will do
