Foreign experience - are they concerned with salary?

[Ross92]

I am applying for express entry, Canadian experience class and claiming 1 year of foreign skilled work experience. In my overseas job, my salary changed twice (increased) in a 15 month period, and was actually really really low when I first started because it was a small business and a new position.

Are they concerned with what the actual salary is on the employment letter?

I am concerned that they will think the salary is below the level of the job and therefore it is not trustworthy. It is worth noting that this foreign experience bumps me up over the threshold so they will probably be inquisitive about it.

Thank you.

You'll be ok, they just want to make sure it was paid work. The actual amount does not matter.
