Thank you very much
@legalfalcon for your guidance. I have one more query related to the experience letter - please see below.
I was on ICT work permit in Canada between 2013-2015, and I was in their India office from 2010-2013. Again I was in the India office for 3 months during the period 2013-2015 after coming to Canada.
They gave me two experience letters one for experience in India with the dates mentioned while I was in India and another for Canada with the dates mentioned. So I'll have 4 job experience letter/folders to upload to with the same employer since had to split the experience.
a. I'll update the same document twice since the dates are mentioned ( letter clearly specified the dates - <date> 2013 to <date> and <date> 2013 to <date> 2015, do I need to give an LOE for this?
Not required.
b. The roles and responsibilities written in both letters are same, would that be an issue?
No, not an issue at all
c. The Canada experience details are given in India letter head as per the company policy, would that be an issue?
This is tricky.
IRCC states:
Minimum requirements
You must:
- have at least 12 months of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in the three years before you apply,
- have gained your experience in Canada with the proper authorization,
- meet the required language levels needed for your job for each language ability (speaking, reading, writing and listening),
Since the experience you gained was in India, you cannot include that for CEC as it was not "in Canada."
Further your employer gave you a reference letter specifically on Indian company's letter head, you will have to dig deeper. Is the Indian company a subsidiary, a foreign incorporated corporation, or something else. Were you paid in Indian currency. But first, the work experience being in India will be the biggest hurdle.
However, if you travelled to India, based on the requirement of your job in Canada, then you can maybe claim your work experience in India as CEC.
