Query regarding work experience

[MiteshS94]

Hello guys,
I graduated in 2016, and since July 2016, I had been working in a CA firm. The problem is I was given a stipend (paid in cash), so I have no pay slips nor do I have the proof of money being credited to my account in my bank statement. Usually the CA's pay in cash to their interns and assistants but not all go abroad for further study. And, I heard they do require some proof as to whether I was officially working or not. So, will this pose a big problem with the Visa clearance? Someone please suggest what should I do?

You can show ITR return

Don't have that either. My income was less so not taxable. What can be done?

Can’t you ask for a certificate of employment or something similar?

I can get a work experience certificate if I ask him. But I don't have any joining letter or promotions as such. Is that certificate enough?

Not sure about your format in your country, but in the Philippines, a COE have joining and leaving date specified in the letter. Maybe you can ask your company if they could put in the joining and leaving date in the letter?

Yeah. That is what that letter will mention. It will mention my name, my post, month of joining and leaving and some remarks about me or my time spent there on the firm's letterhead. Do I need to mention the salary received on it?

You can mention the salary if you want to

But it isn't necessary, right? What else should I put?

If you only want to show your work experience then it’s not necessary. Be clear and be very helpful nest in your SOP sothat you can convince the VO that you are a legit student. That’s basically what they’re concerned most of the time.

Yeah mate, I am a legit student. I want to show my work experience to cover the gap after my college. Why would they accept me if I was idle for all that time? I just read somewhere that the file should not be overloaded with documents. One more thing, what if I decide to do pgwp after my studies there, will I need to contact my firm again to get anything or will payslips be needed at that time?

You don’t need an agent if you want to apply for PGWP after you graduate. Here’s the link from IRCC website:

Everything is straightforward.

Uhmm. I think you didn't get me. What I asked was if I decide to apply for pgwp after my studies in Canada, will any problem occur because of no pay slips? In that case, will I need to contact the firm where I am working or it won't be required then? The firm I mentioned was the one where I work, not any agent or consultant.

PGWP is based on completed program and being a full time student, not on previous work experience. So long as the student did not violate any of the conditions on study permit. The link I provided also contains that information.
