Teaching assistant employment verification letter

[htnakum]

QUick question: I got the invitation for PR using FSW and i am in the process of getting my employment verification letter: I am getting employment verification from my department advisor about my teaching assistant positions. I was a TA in every quarter the 1st 3 years of my grad school. Except for the fall quarter course, all the other course was different course and they were all different hours i worked.

I did Course A in Fall 12, 13, 14 for 20 hours a week
I did COurse B in winter of 13 for 15 hours a week
I did course C in Spring 13 for 10 hours a week.

Should i provide one blanketted TA employment letter from Fall 12 to Fall 14 and then write how many hours i worked? or Should i do 1 employment letter for each course for different hours worked?

How many employers did you have during that period? If one, one work experience letter breaking out hours etc. If more than one . . . more letters.

Thanks

thanks , it’s the same department I was employed to but different professors were teaching that class

Letter comes from the department not the faculty members, no?

Yes i agree. The problem is , All the positions are not 20 hours/week. Each has different hours/ week. I can get one employment verification with the hours worked for each position but how do i use it for my work history in the CRC website. It clearly asked what are the hours i worked for this position?

Give the average.

Give the average.

Alright! Thanks

Alright! Thanks

Did you provide the average? I'm in a similar boat. What did you end up putting in EE form?

So after some digging, I averaged my fte for all the semesters or quarters I worked and out them in the main form and when I got the employment verification form my department, I explain my reasoning and provided the fte for each course I taed. I assume u can do that for research experience as well

Thanks so much! I wonder how I should average something that's still ongoing hmm. My dilemma is that I have been alternating between TA and RA for a couple of years with different work hours, and I have been working as purely an RA for the last 3 years. I don't even know if it's worth putting in breakdown of hours since with >6 years of at least 15 hours/week I get 3 years immediately. But now the question is how to express that in employment verification letter

Good luck! I am not sure how to do that but I do know that they ( Canadian immigration officers) are understanding, so if u explain it should be good.
