Showing proof of a job in Canada

[Canucklehead]

Hello

I'm sponsoring my Japanese wife for a permanent resident visa. We live in Japan at present. My good friend in Canada has offered me a job to start from the day I get there. He's flexible on the exact start date. We are curious of how to show immigration proof that the job offer is legit and how to present it along with all the other documents I will share for "Proof of intent" to move home.

Should he offer the job to me on his companies letter head paper with his signed signature? Is that enough? Or should he address to "Canada Immigratioon"? What else can we do so that IMM is satisfied that I will have work upon arrival?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Just have him write out a job offer letter, on the company stationary (as you mentioned). You include the proof with your application. He can address/title it for CIC but obviously you just put it with the rest of your documentation.

CIC doesn't care much about how you organise your application, as long as you follow the few instructions they set out (the barcodes on top for instance).

Thanks for your help. Hope that's enough. Out of curiosity, will not submitting a letter of resignation from my job in Japan be a very bad idea? I don't want to tell my job I'm leaving until about 3 months before I go. Telling them now makes things a little complicated here for me. But if I have to, I will. I have proof of a condominium in Canada which I will show as an asset and also letters from friends and family and co-workers here that I'm moving back to Canada with my family.

No, you don't have to show that you are resigning from your job in Japan.
