Hi,
I am creating my express entry profile right now and have a doubt in the work history category in terms of how to fill it.

I have a work history of 3 years (1year in 1st company and 2 years in another company). For my express entry profile, I am planning to declare my 2 years of work experience in 2nd company as my 1-year experience is not the same NOC code. Also, my 1st company does not exist anymore. Hence planning to get a reference letter from the 2nd company and get points only for that 2 years of work experience.

The doubt I am having right now is that 2 years ago I had applied for study permit in Canada (just completed my course) and I remembered submitting a document regarding past work history, I had mentioned about my 3 years work experience in all the company I worked in. However, for the current express entry profile, I am planning to mention only 2 years of work experience in the work history category- will the Canadian govt cross verify on the information I had mentioned 2 years ago and the current express entry information I will be mentioning? Will it be a problem? So in my work history of express entry profile do I mention 2 years of work experience or 3 years of work experience?

Or it does not matter as I am not declaring 3 years of work experience and maybe just mention that had 1-year work experience in another company in my LOE (though getting reference letter might be difficult as I am not in contact with anyone there) when I get the ITA.

Thanks in advance!
 
you may add the 1 year experience in personal history
Thanks for the reply!

So under the work history of express entry profile - I state 2 years of work experience.

And I state my 1-year work experience in my personal history after receiving my ITA and filling for PR (I am unable to see any personal history in my express entry profile). I was wondering here when I mention it should I provide a reference letter (as it may be hard to obtain) or just provide my offer letter and relieving letter from that company as proof of employment in personal history.
 
you cannot claim points for anything mentioned in personal history. So no need to provide reference letters.
Hope that helps
