Supporting Docs for Job Letter?

[isabox]

Hi,

Thanks for reading my post.

I worked at an organization, in 2010. It was a part-time weekend job. Currently, I have only t4 for that year, but I do not have any of those pay-stub from that year.

Since, it has been almost three years, my understanding is, at-least I should be able to use the hours from the last 8 months of that year. But, how do I prove my working hours from the last 8 months? What documents, should I provide?

Any opinion would be appreciated.

Before we get ahead of ourselves.. Is this a SKILLED job (belonging to NOC A, 0 or B)?

Yes it is a skilled job. I searched a lot, but I could not find the pay-stubs anywhere.

Two more questions:

1. Do you really need the hours from this job for eligibility? or are eligible even without these hours?
2. You can't produce letter of reference for this job either right?

The reason why I'm asking this is because CIC has been really tough with letters of reference and missing this key document is not really acceptable. But, under such circumstances people usually provide paystubs.. but you don't seem to have that either. The only documents you can use are T4 and NOA for that year. This might suffice but you should definitely write a cover letter explaining why you were not able to produce these documents (Letter of reference or paystubs). But this is a safe bet as long as you don't really need these hours for qualifying under CEC.

Yes, I really need these hours.

I should be able to get a reference letter from the employer. I contacted them, they said: they would provide it to me.

I'm not 100% sure you can get one from that long ago, but you can request a copy of your Record of Employment from Service Canada, if you can get it, it will show all your hours. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the "Employees" section.

I would say get letter of reference and then add the record of employment as Jes_ON suggested. The tricky part with part time jobs is that you would have worked variable amount of hours (assuming somewhere between 5 - 20 hours). Look into the record of employment that government would have sent you once you left that job and get the number of hours and ask your employer to mention those TOTAL hours in letter of reference. You're all set!! Good luck
