Freelance work proof

[silo66]

Hello all,

I've worked for a whole year as a freelancer but I only had one customer. We had 3 month contracts (4 of them, totaling a little over a year) working full-time hours.

I got a letter from this company with all the necessary requirements. (Hours, dates, descriptions etc.) Is this enough or should I provide the contracts etc. as well?

I know normally the employment letter is all that's required but in this case I'm not sure since freelance work proof is a bit of an iffy area.

Thanks!

Yes, I would believe it is best to have all the contracts as proof. CIC will get very suspicious over freelance. Were you hired as a consultant ?

No, I was working as a graphic designer. My employer didn't want to hire anyone on a long-term contract so I worked as a freelancer on an hourly rate for a year.

Include the contracts, pay invoices, anything you have. If you were in Canada, include tax information. As much as you have to prove your status, give them. I was freelance for about 4 months in Canada, and they accepted evidence of the reference letter, invoices, contract, and tax info.

Hi i need a little help.
I worked in my home country as a freelance civil engineer in my home country for 1 year with my 9 years experience as employed by employers.

I got employment certificate already for the 9 years but for the freelance job is my concern.

For the freelance job - i did house construction for a private (not a company) client.
I worked for that project full time 8 hours a day but no time record since it is my own contract.
Is a reference letter from my client will meet cic's requirement?
In the letter what was mentioned are:
- contract amount
- scope of work done
- dates start and finished
- salary is mentioned as profit at approximately 15 to 20% of the contract price
For the no. Of hours worked i don't have a proof.
If the reference letter will serve the purpose - do I need to notarized it by an attorney?

Please advice how to properly prove my freelance experience.
Thanks in advance.

Hello there!

Does anyone here have any sample freelance contract similar to verification of employment as I am about to send an email to clients that I've had from the past. I just wanted my clients to read and sign the freelance contract document that I will soon send them. Hope someone from here can help.

Thank you in advance.
