Letter of Employment - How much detail should I need?

[sbjuliana]

Hi, folks

have two questions:

I just got my letter of employment from a previous employer in my home country (I now live in Canada) that I'll use as proof of my foreign work experience.

The letter only states month and year of my employment there (i.e. february/2013 to july/2015).

I saw some letters that state also the day they started and quit working (i.e. 24/02/13 to 31/07/15).

Will it be a problem if my letter only states the month? Can I send other documents too (like contracts and other official docs) to complement the letter?

Second case:

This is from my previous employer in Canada.

I worked for 1 year, but in the last month, I got a raise. In the letter, my employer didn't mention this, only my annual salary overall. Is this a problem? Do I need to ask for another letter? Or is this ok and I can just send the T4 along with the letter?

Does anyone have a case where their letters were approved in similar conditions?

Thanks in advance!!

I worked for 1 year, but in the last month, I got a raise. In the letter, my employer didn't mention this, only my annual salary overall. Is this a problem? Do I need to ask for another letter? Or is this ok and I can just send the T4 along with the letter? It shouldn't be a problem. CIC only wants to make sure you were actually working for the company. I'd end the letter the employer game, and then include a few of the last paystubs which show the raise included in the amount. Attach a LoE explaining you got a raise.
