Hi all,

I have a bit of confusion regarding the work history. In my work profile I have only declared work history for jobs I am claimings point on. Before my oldest job entered in EE, I have two jobs at separate occasions long time back which were basically just something I did in first year of college for pocket money, both lasted for only one or two months. I have the offer letter for both, and relieving letter for one but I can guaranteed not get letter of reference from either of these companies or even any other documents because I don't even have employee ID. I have tried reaching out to them for experience letter in past just for my record, but got no response. One of these companies was just a small firm and probably isn't around anymore.

Should these be added in my work history now, while I am awaiting ITA or should it be entered later in personal history or something, or should I just leave them out and there will be no consequence? Please advise.

If you are not going to claim the points for it, then just mention it in your personal history.

Thank you. :) Also, about "permanent" job status - is it mandatory to mention only in LMIA or all letters of reference even if the person has no LMIA and isn't currently employed?

I don't know what you mean by permanent job status.

I meant does reference letter (in normal cases) have to specify if the job position when we worked on it was permanent/temporary/contractual etc.?

Its not required but reference letter should state whether it was a full-time job or a part-time job. That is why they also need to know the number of hours worked per week. For full-time, they need at least 30 hours/week.
