Hello Guys,

need your help please!
i have more than 15 years experience, but for the FSW 2014 i need to provide evidence for the last 10 years experience, during this period i had (approximately) 2 years as self employed. i have everything, tax papers, official business registration etc etc etc everything,

but problem is how can i present this experience to CIC because they are not accepting "Self Affidavits" stating duties and responsibilities etc. they are asking for third parties references, so my questions are:

1- who can write a reference letter for me for this period (what kind of third party Ref CIC is accepting)?
2- should it be a simple reference letter same as experience certificate OR it should be "Affidavit " from third party?
3- how many "Affidavits" or "Ref Letters" from third parties? 1 is enough or 2,3 , 4 etc ?

please explain in details, especially if some one has submitted these kind of dox and CIC accepted, that persons comments will help me a lot.

please........

thanx in advance

Hi I have a similar query here. I am self employed, owner of wholesale trading business. Noc 0621. Many of my wholesale clients purchase products and pay. They wouldn't be able to answer how many hours a day I work or all my duties that fall in my noc.

I visit them to their office or shops 2-3 times a year for accounting, feedback on products, and just to maintain harmonious relation.

They are willing to provide references but I have to get the proper wording that suits CIC requirements. Plz guide.
