Folks,

I need some help and advice:

1. When filling out Schedule 8, do you just copy what's in you employer reference letter or you need to expand on the reference letter and provide further details about the duties you carried out.

2. I just copied in abbreviated form because there was not much space on the form, although looking at it now it does mention that one can use additional papers. So, would it be a good idea for me to provide an updated Schedule 8 form with more detail and include other docs such as my annual review, etc.

Thanks

Hi, August 2014 applicant here with AOR issued in January 2015.

I also put the abbreviated version of my duties on Schedule 8 as well.
My NOC is 2714, computer programmer, so it's fairly easy to be brief on my duties (write code, test code, create software documentations...). I just put three duties in abbreviated form.
I might be a bit too optimistic, but if your AOR has been issued, they probably did not see any problem with it at this point.
They should request you additional documents if they need more details once they start your eligibility checks.
