Hi, alain. You should be getting your MR in no time.
I've only had one employer in the NOC (Registered Nurse) I used for my application. My other jobs before were completely unrelated to 3152 and are not even in the 29 listed occupations. The main reason I could think of why they're looking for my GSI records: Could it be because I took up nursing as a second course? Perhaps they are thinking I might have been a "volunteer" nurse (even though I provided my employment certificate with compensation) . If that's the case, then I will provide them my Government Service Insurance records and contributions as requested.
My friend who was scheduled for an interview in January was also asked to bring her Social Security records (self-employed)to the CEM. She took up nursing as a second course, too. I don't know if that has anything to do with the requisition SS/GSI records.
Regards to everyone.
Hmm Ok. I don't think it has anything to do with nursing being your second course. With the context that you provided, I now understand why CEM has asked for more evidence of full-time employment. Since you only have a single employer for your qualifying NOC, they understandably have to be thorough in the conduct of verification checks to make sure you are in fact eligible. Because of the oversupply situation in the country, I think it has become common practice for inexperienced nurses to claim FSW eligibility by passing-off their volunteer experience as paid full-time work experience. CEM is proceeding on the side of caution.
You don't have a problem. You should be able to simply sail through any further verification checks, including the interview, with your GSIS records. To be on the safe side, bring along any other evidence of employment such as payslips, personnel action memos (like change in shift schedules, commendation letters), etc.
Good luck. Don't worry. You are not the only late-term career-shifter in the applicant list. My aunt studied nursing as a second course when she was >45. She made it to Canada.
