Seniors,

I have a reference email from my colleague mentioning my job duties and duration of my employment, and a reference letter from my Company mentioning from how long i am working with current company and from how long i am deputed onsite but they have mentioned the purpose of this reference letter as to get Canada Tourist Visa. But i have all Payslips, offer/increment letter, IT returns from current employer and all offer letters and relieving letters from previous employers. Please let me know if that makes the visa officer happy or its my bad luck

Waiting for your early repsonse. Please help and guide me guys.. i am confused

Cheers,
Sanyasi

Seniors please guide me ... :-(

Oh thanks, hahaha interesting username

Two quick questions:

1. is it necessary to include both work contracts AND pay stubs?! For how many months of pay stubs should i include copies of?

2. I am already student in Canada and applying under regular (non-Ph.D. stream). Should I include transcript from my university? I guess not as in the checklist, it isn't mentioned. Right now, I'm just including an official letter from the faculty of graduate studies at my university mentioning that I have been student since 2011 (to get five points from Adaptability) That's it. So I guess I don't need to include transcript, am I right?

I got my bank certification letter but it states my funds in local currency. Do I have to do a cover letter to show Canadian equivalent? If so, do I have to include the source of the exchange rate data?

Please advise.

Covert the currency in Question 11 of the Economic class application form.
No exchange rate data is needed.
That's what I did in my application.
Hope it helps you.

Please write a covering letter explaining the scenario and attach it to the roles and responsibilities letter. It shouldnt be a problem as the CIC officers generally understand hese situations.

need experts advice...

During my degree education of 4 years, I worked 3 years as a part time sales executive.

So 3 years of part time is considered as 1.5 years of full time.

But my question is, Can I claim that work experience?

Does Sales Executive falls under any NOC ?

Please Guide

Thanks in advance

Based on ECA, you can claim 19 points. You have one post secondary degree / diploma that was 2 years.

Thank you Scylla again for the answer that helped me to make concrete decision. You had also given me feedback to my query regarding disclosure of information about student visa denial in the background declaration form. I have some more queries again-what can I do if CIC demand supporting documents against denial of student visa since it was lost 2 yrs. back. Does rejection once mean negative impact to my FSW file?

Your help extended to answer my query will be highly appreciated.

You can do anything as per your choice. But it is recommended to staple. It does not make any difference.

Actually - if you read the detailed guide you'll see that CIC tells you not to stable. You should avoid staples completely. You also cannot user binders.

Sales executive falls under marketing and sales category but CIC considers only full time exprience. They also chek if experience is related to degree you hold.

In your case you do not have full time experience so it can not be considered.

hmm.. I stappled when I applied last to last year and I got my CC charged however file was returned as I did not provide reference letter.. But your suggetion is logical and valuable looking at your experience..

1. The job title doesn't matter. If your job matches the NOC description and your main duties match the NOC, you may apply under 2232. Be prepared to supply reference letters from your employers as evidence.

Got it.

2. The fact that you took your undergraduate studies while working is irrelevant to CIC. As long as you worked full time, the full 3.9 years may be considered for work experience. Again, your reference letters must state that you worked full time.

Good luck!

My undergraduate studies is totally relevant to my job and I am going to use this education for my Education Factor. For that reason I have a concern about my overlapped work Experience.

I'm almost ready to file my application, however my job reference letters and bank certificate are all addressed to my local visa office (same one I selected in generic form) rather than CIO/CIC. Do you think that would be a problem?

I dont think it should be a problem........the guide didnt state any thing specific......just make sure u check your application for errors before sending it off.......
