Hi Friends,

A couple of basic doubts I have on reference letters are below. Please help to get clarification.

  1. I Do have 15 Years of Foreign Experience. One year of Canadian Experience. If we Get ITA, How many years of reference Letters we Need to show. Is it all 15 years one Or the Last 6 Years or the Last 10 Years?
  2. DO we need to show the compensation details on the reference letters? If for some reason, if they don't present or the employer refuse to add them to the reference letter, What are other options Like Payslips or Tax forms (form16 or T4, etc)? Do we need to get Payslips or some form of compensation details of all previous experience (15 or 10 years)?

Your help is much appreciated on the above questions. Thanks in advance

Only those you claim points for.
The rest go to personal history and no documents are required to submit for those.
Thank you.

Below is my scenario. We are gaining

35 points for
Code:
CRS - Human Capital - Canadian Work Experience 35
50 Points for
Code:
CRS - Skill Transferability - Foreign Work Experience
Got into the dilemma that do we need to show all our previous work exp letters (i.e. if the candidate has 15+ years of exp)? Or Does the candidate need to provide the Last 6 years' reference letters as CRS calculator awarding 50 points when we select 5+ or more dropdown from the app?

Your valuable suggestions will help. Thanks in advance.

Work from the past 10 years is considered. Anything beyond is not counted.

For FSW eligibility (67 point grid/six selection factors), you get max points for 6 years of foreign work experience. Anything beyond that is non value adding.
CEC eligibility - you need only to meet the CLB for your primary NOC and have one year of Canadian work experience.

Once you meet the eligibility, next is to calculate is your CRS. You get max points for 3 years of foreign work experience. Anything beyond that will not add anything to your score.
Canadian work experience, you get max points for 5 years.

Declare only what you’re claiming points for as IRCC will ask for supporting documents.

I do have only one year of Canadian Experience and the rest is a foreign experience out of my 14 years of total exp which stated in my Express Entry Profile.
If I understand correctly, In my case, Do I need to show reference Letters for a total of 7 years of my experience( 1year of Canadian and 6 years of Foreign).

I might be totally misunderstood of the logic of 10 years of exp logic.
Spare me to correct me if I'm wrong.

The question asked is experience in the last 10 years. Not necessarily all of those 10 years. That’s why I was saying, declare only what you need to reach the required points to get invited. So you won’t have to get every single piece of work reference letter as work experience in excess of 3/5/6 years (depending on which score we’re taking about) will not fetch anymore points.

You mentioned 6 years of foreign, that’s the max if you’re applying under FSW. Since you qualify also under CEC, you only need to declare 3 years of foreign work as that’s the max you can claim under the CRS criteria.

If you get ITA, you’ll be invited under CEC and not FSW, because of this:
