Should "Work History" section and "Personal History" section match?

[foobar01]

Here's my situation:

• I have 4 years foreign work experience.
• I only have employment letter from one work place where I worked for a year.
• Because of that I am only putting that one year under my work experience section and thus only claiming points for that.
• I received my ITA.
• Now I am confused about how to fill my "Personal History" section where I have to provide info on what I did for 10 years without gaps.

Is it okay if under "Work Experience" I only put 1 year work experience but still put all my work experience under the "Personal History" section?

Foobar, you must put facts in your application to avoid undesirable situations. I would suggest you to put all your jobs in the employment section. In the documents upload section, you may upload a write up explaining why you don't have any documents to support the job and that you don't seek any points for these jobs. Further you must be having some document for those jobs that you may add along with the write up. This is my opinion. You might want to take suggestions from more experienced folks here.

I totally agree. List the jobs - that is, be honest - and then in the explanation tell CIC that you could not document them and why. You won't get points, that's all. But you can't lie about what you were doing!

Also, really - you have nothing? I have a problem with a job my partner had in Europe. The secondary school where he taught English for a year after college has completely changed hands, and he hasn't stayed in touch with anyone he worked with. He was paid by electronic transfer and didn't get pay stubs, and it was so long ago that he doesn't have tax records and he isn't in his home country to try to get them. The only thing he has is his work contract - and he had that translated and uploaded. I don't know if we got points for that job, but I doubt it since he is the spouse. We told the truth and gave them the only thing we had to prove it, and that is all we can do.

I too agree with the above suggestions.
