Yes it sounds negative but hey, its your view. Everyone has their own.
I've been dealing with this since April 2011, so this is the line's end. So even if its not all written on this thread there are many many routes that have been taken, main options considered and barely any stones left unturned. If I was taking such steps in the beginning then it would be something to frown upon. But when you've tried almost everything and there really isn't anything more to turn to, you do what needs to be done. Anyway regardless of how good or bad the method is, either way I'll know within the week how its going
NOC 1311 Accounting technicians and bookkeepers main duties listed as:
• Keep financial records and establish, maintain and balance various accounts using manual and computerized bookkeeping systems
• Post journal entries and reconcile accounts, prepare trial balance of books, maintain general ledgers and prepare financial statements
• Calculate and prepare cheques for payrolls and for utility, tax and other bills
• Complete and submit tax remittance forms, workers' compensation forms, pension contribution forms and other government documents
• Prepare tax returns and perform other personal bookkeeping services
• Prepare other statistical, financial and accounting reports.
The immigration officer needs you to show that you are actually doing the above duties. Since, your “supervisor” is not welling to voucher the above duties for you. I assume that your relationship with your current supervisor has already “fried” last year.
To show the immigration officer that you are actually do the above duties, you might want to have co-workers, clients or anybody involved with your daily tasks to help you out. (You do have co-workers or clients in your work environment right?)
1. Do you have co-workers that do the same daily tasks as you? Ask them to write a letter for you stating that they are your co-workers and have been working with you for the past xxx years performing the above duties. (Before asking them to do this, take them out to have a beer or coffee (after work), your chance of getting the letters will greatly improved)
2. Copies of email, fax or other correspondence between you and your coworkers, supervisors, or clients discussing any issues arising when performing any of the above duties during the past years. Have a certified public accountant certify that the issue arising is in fact related any of the above tasks (this might cause you some money).
3. Any copies of computer logs showing you log-in the accounting system and performing the above duties. You might need your IT administrator to print this out and certify the access logs belong to you.
Yep, this is a lot work. Yes, it’s much easier if you can just get your supervisor to write you a reference letter, if the relationship is still there.
