This is the letter I have got from my employer. I am not too confident about it but also I have no other choice as this is the best they can do.
Keep in mind that this job will count for only two months of experience out of the required twelve month experience (not that it matters I guess or does it?)

Please have a look and comment if this will be good enough



To Whom It May Concern:

Please allow this letter to serve as employment verification on behalf of XXXXX

XXXXX was on assignment, employed through XXXXX (recruiter's name) from March 20th, 2013 to May 29th, 2013. XXXXX was employed as a Transportation Coordinator.

Looks good. This letter has your term, duties and hours. Make sure the duties they mentioned here are matching the NOC code under which you are applying for PR. CIC don't have any specific format anyways. Good Luck. :)

NOC is 1215

I think..

Now they've not provides the NOC on the letter

What should I say on the economic classes form. I guess someone mentioned it has be filled out.

What if the job duties don't exactly match. I mean I think job duties can never exactly match. I guess they should be close enough but I am not sure if these are.

Seniors please help.

NOC 1215 is a Supervisory position- lead statement is "...supervise and co-ordinate the activities of workers." There is nothing in your job description about supervising other workers, so this letter is risky, if you need that 2 months to count...

Oh really?

Your post has really scared me.

But I have no other option. I have completed my other 10 month experience and this is the only other experience I have.

Unless I want to go for express entry which no one know what it is


What other NOC can be applied to this one?

depends... did you supervise other workers or not?

What was the job title of the person you reported to? I ask because your duties actually look more like those of 0713 (transportation freight traffic), but given the wage and the job title, I'm not sure that will be convincing either...

you haven't answered whether or not you supervise other staff, or whether you looked at NOC 0713 and think those job duties are a better match...

If you are 100% certain you can't get a revised letter, then select the NOC with the best match in terms of lead statement and job duties, and if you are uncertain, write a letter of explanation...

I did not supervise staff

0713 duties are somewhat a match

But from day 1 I've thought that 1215 is the code

I think the duties and code will never exactly match

I just found out today on one of these thread that we can actually e-mail hrsdc, give them the job duties and ask them to help provide the NOC code

Well its too late now coz I applied today

Now all of you I need from you encouraging comments as I am very nervous even though I fulfil all requirements of cec other than this one little part which is the two month qualifying job

Please comment
