Hi,

I assume that during the invitation to apply, you select how many years you have worked and then upload the documents - as opposed to just simply uploading and letting them determine. My history has been fairly inconsistent, and working mainly in cash. Could immigration view the 4 years of history, but only award me 1-2 years, or would they just say insufficient evidence for 3+ years and mark it as no work experience? Basically do they have discretion, or is it simply fail or pass? I only need 1 year and I'm well above 472pts...

What IRCC determines with respect to your work history is based on the documentation you produce - usually a work experience from your employer detailing your start and end dates, salary, hours/week, and detailed description of duties. IRCC doesn't make arbitrary decisions from looking at your work experience list.
