The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

  • a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits"

There's no specific format but, per IRCC's guidelines, your work experience reference letter needs to include the following:

    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
  • if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

Hi,

I have a query regarding work experience certificate.
I have worked as a software engineer in an MNC in India for 3 years and 6 months. I have the appointment letter, confirmation letter and relieving letter. I also have all the pay stubs. Does these documents qualify for work experience proof.
Do I still need to get 'job responsibilities and roles' from my supervisors/managers, it would be difficult as I am not in contact with them and now they are also working in different other organizations.

Yes, roles and responsibilities are a must. There are alternative ways you can do this if are not in contact with your bosses. I suggest posting a separate thread because your question will be more visible. There are several others who have been in the same situation as you, so they can guide you better. Good luck :)
