Places of employment

[Cdnpr2017]

Does the applicant have to provide proof of being employed by every single employer?

No. Unless your country guide specifically asks for this. You can just list them, then provide proof of the current employer.

For spousal sponsorship? I saw nothing about this when I was applying. I'm a U.S. applicant. Listing them as part of the background declaration, yes, but not anything about providing any proof. I can see that being useful if you're wanting to prove that you've got enough income to support yourselves after arriving in the country, particularly if the sponsor doesn't have any income/enough income. But I don't recall it being mandatory.

I didn't think it was manatory either. I have read about people providing proof though. i plan on waiting out most of my Outland application in Canada and maybe do a week trip/long weekends home in the USA visiting my family. In this case I will not have a job, not unless my employer allows for me to keep it and work one weekend a month.

it is not required for the applicant to be employed. this is not an economic stream where work experience matters. employment is not a concern for spousal sponsorship applications and has no impact on approval. remember, there are a lot of immigration streams people apply for, so what 1 person says they did doesn't mean it's required for your application. there could be a reason specific to their application, a requirement for their country of citizenship, or they could be confused. go by what's listed in the application and guide for the applicant's country of citizenship.

Just to clarify, the applicant lists his or her addresses, and jobs, but does not have to provide proof of these addresses and jobs. Unless the application specifically asks for it, or unless they are planning to use it as part of the proof of the relationship or proof of their plans for their life in Canada.
For example, my husband (the applicant) listed all his addresses, as asked, but did not have to provide proof of any of them. However, the address where we stayed together, he did provide proof of it, because it was part of our relationship proof.
Likewise, he did not provide proof of his jobs, but did provide proof of his business experience, because we were using that as part of our plan about how we would live in Canada.
