Hello,

Does any one know of a link on the CIC website that lists what information they need on a work letter? My employer is asking for it so they can see as proof the requirements. I was not able to find any thing on the website so thought maybe I missed it? Thanks

Proof of work experience

Purpose

To prove each work experience claim and to validate that the applicant meets program requirements

Document requirements
•The personalized document checklist in MyCIC prompts the applicant with an upload field for each work experience declared.
•At completeness check, the processing office only determines whether the required documents are included. The validity or fraudulence of the information is assessed only if and when the application is placed into processing.

The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:
•a reference or experience letter from the employer ◦should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and e-mail address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company);
◦should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits.

•if the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips, Notices of Assessment (NOA) and Option C printouts issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe, e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years).
•if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income, and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).

Individuals who must submit this documentation
•The principal applicant
•Their spouse or common-law partner (if work experience in Canada is claimed)
