Foreign Work Experience DURATION - Urgent opinion required PLEASE.

[nick1899]

Experts,
I am a CEC Inland applicant and have claimed points for my foreign work ex, so I have submitted reference letter also.

In my reference letter for foreign work ex, I realized that the employer actually included my duration from 10 January 2009 to 5 February 2012 i.e 3 year and 25 days.
however, my actual duration was 10 Jan 2009 to 5 March 2012 i.e 3 year 1 month and 25 days. I did claim 1 month less.
I was going through my final slips and I realized that. Also the pay slips that I submitted were from April 2010 to Dec 2011 along with my reference letter.

This was a mistake from employer and also from me because even I did not verify it again.
Although the max points we can claim for foreign work ex under express entry (skills transferability-Foreign Work Ex) is 3 years and I seem to have that in either of the above situations.

So my QUESTION is - IF CIC verifies with my foreign employer and my employer mentions the duration as 10 Jan 2009 to 5 March 2012 (instead of 5 Feb 2012 on the reference letter) then will that be an issue? Is that a misrepresentation? I believe misrepresentation is when you give an information that deems you INELIGIBLE.

Also, for foreign work ex if the reference letters are 100 % as per CIC guidelines then do they still call employer for further verification.

Please advice in this situation.

Thank you.

I don't think it's a big issue.
In your work history you provided the wrong info?
Could you ask your employer to write a new letter and raise a CSE with a letter explaining this mistake?
It's not misrepresentation as you don't gain anything from that. But just to have peace of mind, I'd suggest you to raise a CSE.

Yes, in my work history too I have the same duration (with 1 month less) as I referred the letter and entered it in my work history.

I have already raised a CSE for the same reference letter re another correction, and if I do it again for the duration now, then that will raise very high suspicion. What do you suggest then? ( I should have checked that 1 month before, but somehow it escaped my attention as it was long time back)

Again that will not affect my points in any way. I am confused now in weighing between two options- Raise one more CSE OR Stay where am I now i.e wait and watch what happens with the already sent CSE for reference letter.
