I am looking for some guidance regarding inputting my personal history details post ITA.

- I have been working with my current employer in USA since Jan 2009.
- During this period, I have held 3 different positions x, y and z with the same employer all with R&R matching NOC 2173.
- During this period, I have worked in two different cities (2009 - 2011) and (2011 - 2017).
- While creating the EE profile, I had created only 1 entry in the Work History section.
- I have received the ITA.
- I have received one reference letter from my employer listing all 3 positions and the duration for each.

Questions:

1. Will this be a problem? I have seen a few threads suggestion that each position should be mentioned as a separate employment episode but there seems to be no consensus.

2. Should I break it down by city of work in the Personal history section since I need to mention city name for my employment episode? In other words, should I create 2 entries for this employment under Personal History?

3. Should I explain this discrepancy in the LOE?

4. Has anyone ever heard of this being a reason for rejection? Seems unlikely to me.

Please advise.

Thanks

I think it should be OK, assume the letter mentions the 2 different cities?

2. Should I break it down by city of work in the Personal history section since I need to mention city name for my employment episode? In other words, should I create 2 entries for this employment under Personal History?

This would replace the need to change anything, yes : ) If you were just starting the application, I might have suggested listing the different jobs separately, but I think you can continue.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The letter states each position and the location as 'USA'. Does not mention the city.

I guess it won't be a good idea to change the work history at this time and break down the employment in 3?

That would be a big change post-ITA. I would just handle it all with a LOE and supporting documents.
