Employer Letter NOC 1212

[morningman]

Hi Everyone,
I have been following this forum for quite sometime and I was wondering if following employer letter will fullfil the requirements for CIC. My current title is only AP but my duties coincide with NOC 1212, I am not sure if this will have any impact on the case. It is on company's letterhead and signed by my Manager. There is another letter from HR that gives the details of my working hrs (37.5 hours), salary (41k) and all the benefits. I will attach the business card for the company and also the manager.

My company is a listed on TSX.

Any feedback will be much appreciated.

To: Citizenship and Immigration Canada
I am pleased to provide this letter to XX who is employed at XX located at XX as an Accounts Payable Coordinator. He has been working for the company since 7th January 2013, his major duties and responsibilities include:
a) Compiling bi-weekly cheque run for XX, for division’s VP approval. Reviewing processors’ work, checking vendor statement and making sure all due invoices are entered in the system. If any discrepancy, going back to the team of around 11 people to make sure it is done on time.
b) Increased efficiency of AP processes; reducing check processing time and streamlining Non-PO approval process.
c) Processing manual payments for all online utilities and passing to another processor for online payment. Reviewing the monthly payments for utilities and tracking the ones that are missing and following up with concerned processor and/or location to invoice it. Thereby saving late payment charges and reducing disconnection notice
d) Analyzing the discount vendors, making sure invoices are entered and payments are issued on time, saving thousands of dollars to the company in early pay discount. Maintaining exemplary relations with other vendors and saving company around $30,000 in lost discounts by coming up with innovative strategies like paying some invoices early and/or doing the post dated cheques.
e) Allocating intercompany rebates among various locations and passing the information to processors for entry. Reviewing intercompany transactions done by other processors making sure cost centers are correctly coded and costs are allocated accordingly.
f) Compiling reports and comparing with related General Ledgers showing the progress of each location compared to previous months. Also responsible to reconcile the difference in General ledger and Accounts Payable sub-ledger for any discrepancies at month end.
g) Responsible for entering PO and non PO invoices for one of the locations, also working as an extra pair of eyes on the new software, Accpac, to see any problems and loopholes in the system.
h) Coordinating with accounting department in general, and General accountant in particular to make sure that payments are posted in the correct general ledger, working on any discrepancy to make sure month end processes are carried out smoothly.
i) Other day to day duties include answering Epicor related issues from other processors and communicating with Director to resolve work related issues and optimizing cash management. Preparing and compiling reports as requested by Divisional Directors.
Additionally, XX has played a vital role in transitioning one of the locations into new software, helping and training processors as required

Yup! that looks fine. Be sure to include your salary and benefits details as well. Have your manager/HR confirm that you have completed 1 year with the company in the position that you are applying for under CEC.

Good luck

Hi, the duties look fine. But it will be better if you can also show your previous experience as entry-level accounting staff. NOC1212 requires " •Experience in the clerical occupation supervised is required.".
So only one year of exprience in accounting area, even it is for supervision level, is not that adequate from my point of view.


Thanks,

Hope1957-Thanks a lot for the reply.

cyccyy33- I think I will have to explain that in a letter because my job title remained the same, it was just my duties that changed in beginning March. Thanks for letting me know.

Regards,
MM

Hi - NOC 1212 is a supervisory position, and your job description is light on the supervisory duties, heavy on AP duties. I'm afraid you might be in danger of having CIC determine that your NOC is 1431, which does not qualify -

http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/ProfileKeyword.aspx?val=1&val1=1431&val11=accounts+payable&val12=0&val13=0&val14=&val15=0&val16=0

Your salary is in line with the supervisory role, so it might be OK, but if possible, my suggestion would be to review the duties of NOC 1212 with your Manager and see if you can include more of the supervisory functions -

Thanks I talked with my Manager and he agreed to "modify" some of my duties.

Also, I have very good working relationship with my division's Vice President. I was wondering if I should include a reference letter from her? or will it be too much?

Again, thanks for all the feedback appreciated!

That's great, I get so sad hearing about all the bad experiences, so nice to hear when someone has a supportive employer!

It's not necessary to get a letter from the VP, but it won't hurt either. I would accept it if she offers. Good luck!
