How much Work history needed for INITIAL Express Entry

[Luke_1234567]

Hi all,

Working my way through my application - I've listed pretty much all my work (under the qualifying NOC codes though) since I arrived in Canada in May 2015.

My work is contracts. They are all classed as skilled jobs so from the (numerous) chats I've had with people, I should be fine.

However, I have over 20 different employer's listed here. Do I need a letter from each of these? It's a lot, but just wanted to check.

I'm so confused. Part of me still thinks I should be under the Self-employed application but ive been told that Express is the way forward...

You would need to provide letters for every employer from whom you're claiming work experience, so, yes, essentially, you'll need to get 20 letters. You might need to provide more information to us about the nature of your work, if you want the forum's help in determining how you should proceed - it could very well be that you might have to apply as self-employed...

Thanks for the reply.

So my work is a mix of 3 things:

Mainly: Experiential marketing
Other: PR (PR liaison etc)
Additional: MC/Host (for live events, some things)

I'm really worried now as my Visa is up Mid May (and God forbid I don't want to go back to England haha)

Of the work I'm applying with 4 months was FT (the standard 8.30-5pm job) and one was a 4 month contract ...but rest are between 1 day and 4 week gigs.

Thanks ...really...for the advice.
