Dear All,

This is with regards to my reference letter which I received today from the HR.

I have an experience of 4.5 years in two different roles in this company in the same grade. I am claiming points for the 2nd role(i.e., for 3.5 years).

But however, in the letter the roles are not mentioned, only the grade, and the duties for both roles are put together in bullet points(without any timelines)

My joining and leaving date is mentioned. So, as per the letter, my experience for the 2nd role would be counted for 4.5 years.

So can I enter experience as 4.5 years for the 2nd role in EE profile? Would it be any misrepresentation?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, got it.
This means I’ll have to send someone directly to the university.
Hopefully they will have already saved the corrected information.

All pages with stamps, markings or visas on your current passport.

-- and I also realize that the residential countries usually doesn't give stamps...so that add a lot efforts to dig out past 10 years travel history for both myself and spouse.... really worry if missed anything..as sometimes travel got amended or cancelled....

This is why it is always best to keep a spreadsheet to track your international travel (and save boarding passes as well) .

Just look through your emails to see if you are able to find the itenenaries for all travel within the past 10 years. If you don't know the exact dates, write an approximate date and explain this in a LOE.

2. yes, I am preparing past 10 years residents PCC- and some of them I checked on the website to apply after receiving the letter.... May I know how many days would be given to have these post-submission PCC?

This time provided is at the discretion of the officer but I've seen people receive enough time and extensions.

3. spouse foreign are more than 10 years... so move all work history to personal history?... so ( we never worked in Canada ...)

Yes.

4. just declined the Ontario PNP- thanks for the info.

Good!

Many thanks for the info....

4032 belongs to NOC category A. So you are good.

CRS points for foreign work experience maxes out at 3 years so you don't have to get anything more than that. So the 3 years and 8 months experience would be sufficient IMO. Just make sure your reference letter shows responsibilities that match the responsibilities listed under the NOC 4032.

Good luck .

Thank you very much bro...

for this PCC, is it to collect ONLY past 10 years courtiers stayed more than 6 months? Or should collect all PCC since 18 years old?

3. spouse foreign are more than 10 years... so move all work history to personal history?... so ( we never worked in Canada ...)

Hi I still have question about spouse work history- I think the info was linked to EE profile - so do I need to remove/update the EE profile? Then enter all spouse non-Canadian work experiences to spouse personal history? If I don't remove- what will happen?

Yeah, as long as you have 12 months of continuous work experience in one NOC in the past 10 years, you can club all other work experiences under an eligible NOC irrespective of the duration (could be more or less than 12 months).

You have to obtain a reference letter with responsibilities that match the responsibilities under the NOC that you choose.

Okay, thanks. I'm relieved about it.
Will it be detrimental to my chances if I update my submitted EE profile by changing the NOC?

Please go through the document checklist yourself to get a better understanding. It used to be 'from 18 years of age' but now, it says 'for the past 10 years'.

You don't have to remove it in the EE profile; just from the work history section on your e-APR.

If you don't remove it, you will have to provide documentation for all of your spouse's work experience which I think is completely unnecessary and redundant but that's up to you; it's your application. Or, you can keep it there (for whatever reason) and upload a LOE on each of his work history place holders mentioning that you are not submitting a reference letter because you cannot claim points for his work experience.

No. EE is a NOC-neutral process. As long as you select an eligible NOC, you should be good

hi
one more question:
it is about personal history:
when in between new & old job, like a few weeks, I can entered as unemployed. But what to fill 'Employer/school/Facility'?
Should I put 'N/A' or enter home address?

--- hey, thanks. I see clearly in the application it says 'past 10 years'....but got very confused why some of the post mentioned since 18 years old
Thanks a lot

- hey thanks. I will remove my spouse work history in the online application form.
- the reason I was asking the question was because it asks if spouse has work history....then if I answered 'No' - which is not true... so its a bit confusing to answer Yes or No ......

Question regarding changing to a new job soon:

I am going to join a new com in March...
While I am in the mist of filling all required info in the online PR application form- may I know how the reference letter would be required to submit?
I have worked in current company for more than 5 years where my NOC is for... so should I just request a service certificate?

thx for sharing experiences..

hi raj,
thanks a lot for your guidance

regarding your previous reply:
-- and I also realize that the residential countries usually doesn't give stamps...so that add a lot efforts to dig out past 10 years travel history for both myself and spouse.... really worry if missed anything..as sometimes travel got amended or cancelled....

This is why it is always best to keep a spreadsheet to track your international travel (and save boarding passes as well) .

Just look through your emails to see if you are able to find the itenenaries for all travel within the past 10 years. If you don't know the exact dates, write an approximate date and explain this in a LOE.

Questions about travel history:
1. do I also need to provide transit cities
2. how about travel details in multiple countries in Europe? Like in Europe, there is only a stamp for the 1st country when getting in.... like I might entered a country with a stamp on my passport, and in a few hours, I travelled to next country....

next Question:
1. How about dual residences? Or should I enter the major one?

thx

No. EE is a NOC-neutral process. As long as you select an eligible NOC, you should be good

Phew, ok, I'm going to give it another go. Thank you for your help!
