Thanks alot that cleared the confusion. Also when we switch countries we have a gap in employed/working time. Can we include that in our profile as experience, provided that we can produce experience certificate on letter head for that?cosgrec said:Document: Employment Records
You must provide proof of each of your current and previous work experiences.
Your evidence should include a reference letter from your employer and previous pay stubs, where available.
The reference letter is an official document printed on company letterhead and must include your name, the company's contact information (address, telephone number and e-mail address), the signature of your immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company and a business card of the person signing the letter. The letter should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties/responsibilities, job status (if current job), the dates you worked for the company, the number of work hours per week and your annual salary plus benefits.
You must scan all documents for this work experience and save them as one file. (Each work experience requires a separate file.)
If you have a reference letter stating that you were employed at this time with all the necessary information, it might be fine. I would only submit if I actually were employed, but that's your choice. It's OK to have gaps in employment.S66d9T said:Thanks alot that cleared the confusion.

I really need this answer too..lotusEsp said:Is requirement for the paystubs and reference letters etc only for Canadian employment history?
I've never found an answer (even when speaking to CIC) if, after getting an ITA for CEC, you need to provide history of just Canadian work experience (and t4s, paystubs, letters of reference etc) or if I have to go contacting loads of previous employers around the world for the same thing (pretty much impossible if you've been freelancing in many countries over the last 10 years prior to coming to Canada.)
anybody know?
I'm planning on just submitting my reference letters as far as work experience is concerned... Has anyone done that before? It would be impossible for me to trace back those old payslips. Heck some of my employers didn't even give payslips, just transferred straight to my bank account...Canadiense85 said:I believe reference letters are needed for any work experience even outside Canada, pay stubs are optional but they will give more credit if added.
