query regarding 10 years of experience - docs request

[edupolo]

When we are asked for employee references, payslips and contracts, they say for 10 years prior application date.
Does that mean just for jobs that you are claiming points for? or if for example you worked at a bar right after college and that falls within those 10 years, you also need documents from that bar that you worked for.
I have been at the same job since April 2001, which is the one I am claiming points for. My application date was Sept 2007, which means they would want references for jobs since sept 1997, due to my age, back then I was at university and then I did many jobs that were your typical after-uni jobs to pay bills until I found a decent job and make my way up the ladder, which finally happened in April 2001.
Please share your comments.
some people seem to think it means any job... so I would like to hear from those also that have gone throuh process by only providing documentation for jobs they were claiming points for.
Thanks.

Hello

You should provide documents for your work experience in Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian NOC list.

Thanks.

10 years is the Max term CIC has mentioned.
Out of those 10 years,if you have valid 6 years of experience,show ONLY 6 years of experience and provide proof and documentation for the same.
Within those 6 years,you CAn only show experience for jobs which fall under NOC O/A/B List.

Since you are in the same job since 2001,hence you can show only 1 Job with ONLY 1 NOC Code
Hope this makes it clear

Many thanks for these replies.
It is somehow confusing though, because some people claim they need proof of your work history for the last 10 years prior to application date regardless of whether or not they fall under category 0, A or B. I hope that you are right though cos that saves me a lot of time and money, since I have been in category 0 position since april 2001, and any other job before that had nothing to do with skilled worker categories.
However more input will be appreciated from others that have the same query.
Thanks.

CIC asks you to provide details of your history since the age of 18. If you were working, studying or anything, you have to provide information.
