Company 1 -> dissolved
Company 2 -> not their policy to give such letter
Company 3 -> company has merged and immediate superior no longer working in the company

My wife unable to obtain reference letter from all her past employers, besides all the companies are not in Canada, her work experience is not gaining point for total score as well.

She does attached a cover letter to address this in each employment record.

Will IRCC reject my application because of this issue?
 
Assuming she is the dependent then her foreign experience is completely irrelevant to your application. It adds no value whatsoever.

Remove these jobs from the work history section and add them in the personal history section. The officer assessing your application couldn't care less about the dependent's foreign work experience.

DelPiero07, one question/concern related to the dependent`s work history

I did exactly the same, added my husband`s work experience in his personal history only. There is just one thing that worries me... :-[ In his work history section they ask whether XXX has any working experience, and answering NO kind of bothering me ::)

Dont worry just mention the reason in LoE that spouse work experience is non-Canadian hence mentioned in Personal history and not in work history. VO will be happy as you reduced his burden of unnecessary going through your Spouse's employment details.

Hello DelPiero07 & other senior members,

I had initially shown my wife's work experience in the Express Entry form. Post ITA, I removed it since there are no points for her foreign ( outside Canada) work experience. I had marked "No" in the Work Experience History column in eAPR and has instead shown in Personal History. Will it be considered misrepresentation.


Thanks and Regards,

You're fine
 
Hi Kryton,

By chance do you know any one got rejected due to moving spouse's foreign experience to Personal history? Though my spouse can get the reference letters but I am worried about giving extra information which is not required and also difference between pre ITA and post ITA details if I remove my spouse's work ex from work history.

Thanks

No, no reported instance of that.

As long as pre ITA no points were allocated to spouse work experience, it can be moved safely.

Just explain in LOE that you weren't able to get documents and moving it does not affect your eligibility or CRS score.
 
Thanks
