NOC Code......
2175
Hello Everyone,

First of all, I would like to thank the CanadaVisa community for such useful answers shared on this forum which help a lot of confused applicants.

I have completed 13 months at my current company. It is a remote job ( company is based in Sweden ) and falls under 2175 Web Developer NOC. I have to work for regular working hours i.e. 40 hrs / week and salary is credited directly to my account. This is the only company where I have worked more than 1 year. In the past I have worked for 5 & 1/2 months as a PHP Developer. There was a gap of around 6 months between these employments where I did freelancing but don't have any proof of that on paper. I want to claim job experience only for my full-time employments.

1. Since 1 year is the minimum requirement for work experience and my work experience is not a lot more than 1 year, how would it affect my application ?

2. How do I make sure that my reference / experience letters are good enough for Immigration authorities especially considering the fact that I work remotely ?

3. What all documents would I need from my employer ?
3.1 [ I know that Reference letter is needed. I have offer letter. I don't have salary slips (yet). Is an experience letter needed apart from Reference letter and what is the difference between both ? ]

Other areas
I have good points in IELTS and a Masters Degree in Computer Science ( as per WES )

If anyone has been through or going through my situation, it would be great if you could share your experience.

Thanks.
