Hi,

I entered all the employment records in my work history, got ITA and now need to submit documents, realized that CIC has specific requirements for the work history records.

I entered 4 employment records, the last 3 records has no problem because the companies still around and I managed to get all the documents required, but the first employment record, the company has closed down more than 10 years now. I can't get anyone to provide any documents regarding my employment for this company, and the documents that I have for this employment not even close to the requirements that CIC requested.

Do advice what is the best approach for me to resolve it.
1. Remove this record from work history and put it under personal history? Will it impact my score or application?
2. Write a letter to inform that the company has closed down and no way to provide the documents as required?
3. Any suggestion??

Cheers,
Margaret
 
Curious as to what you ended up doing.

Hi Margaret,

Feel free to remove the entry and place it under personal history with a LOE. Good Luck!

If taking it off doesnt lower your points lower than the cutoff for your draw, you can take it off, add it to personal history with an LOE
 
It depends if you are climing points for this work experience or not.

If you did, then by putting it to personal history you will lose points and your score will decrease. It's still ok if after score drop you will be still above the mionimum score from your round of invitation. But remember to write an explenation about it in LOE.

If you didn't claim points, then you should move it to personal history (In work history should be provided only work experience that we claim points for it) and you will be totally fine with that.

Yes, you're good as long as the removal does not change your score, ie, does not reduce your total years of experience in a way that downgrade you to another bucket of points on this claim.
 
I am in a similar boat. I am pretty sure I entered wrong NOC code for a job i am not claiming point for. Should I just change the NOC code and submit employer letter or just remove it from work history in APR. I already received my ITA. Thanks in advance for the help.
