Help Qorax and other seniors (Question about work experience & NOC)

[Joban99]

Hello Qorax,

I wanted to ask about my NOC, which is 4131. I'm a writing consultant / admin specialist but in my job, I do more of my writing consultant duties like tutor English and other 4131 duties. However in my contract (I work in a university) my job specification is as an admin specialist as it was easier for HR to put me in this category. I know my boss will make me a reference letter stating that I am more of a writing consultant than an admin specialist and have more 4131 duties, but Im scared that my contract may give me a few problems. I was thinking of just making an explanatory letter stating that I am more of a writing consultant rather than an admin specialist and just attach it with the reference letter and contract. What would you suggest? Would it be better if I have my boss write the explanatory letter?

On a related subject, I dont have contracts or payslips on some of my previous jobs as they were small companies that didnt have contracts (and I live in Kuwait so they dont really make contracts here), what should I do about that? Should I make explanatory letters for these cases as well? There is also one case where I may not be able to get a reference letter from my previous employer (I worked as an EFL instructor) as the company is gone and I dont know how to find my previous employer. What should I do?

Also I am assuming that the current job we hold and the job that has the most number of year is the job we write as our noc, am I correct? I think I should worry more about my writing consultant reference letters as that is my NOC right? Or are all the previous jobs I have equally important, eventhough some of the jobs are different NOCs.

You need to get letters which will be relevant to prove your claims as stated in the application forms. Now it will be better if you get the letter from your employer and on company letter head and properly documented. Now if the work experience is in the last 10 years and falls in skill type 0, A and B and it fetches you points then you must provide an explanation letter to CHC.

See, it is very important for the applicant to provide complete supporting documents in order to get the claimed points. If the documents are missing or some explanation is given then it is up to the immigration/visa officer to judge thew authenticity of completeness of documents which have been provided by the applicant. VO/IO may or may not award points and it all depends upon the letter provided.

If you do not have any documents then provide explanation letter. If you even have communication copy or any appreciation letter from previous job which I doubt (As you stated they were small companies) it will be helpful.

Best of Luck
