work experience - spouse

[ultra99]

My wife and I don't have Canadian work experience, only foreign. For the PR application, I have put the different (full and part time) jobs my wife had, therefore, I'm requested to upload reference letters. Can I go back to the application and put "stay home" instead in personal/work history? We don't want to declare her foreign work experience as it's irrelevant and won't get us any points.

You can remove those fields in work history and just retain them in personal history (strictly where relevant in terms of change in city/country etc) so that it doesn't ask you for reference letters.

So if in personal history, i wont have to provide documents?
I can do that, won't be considered as misrepresentation?

Yes. Because you aren't claiming something yet NOT providing evidence to back that claim. That is misrepresentation.

In this case, you are not citing work experience history because you are claiming no points for work experience so the requirement of documentary evidence doesn't arise. That might be non disclosure but it is not misrepresentation.

So is non-disclosure can cause a rejection? They already know there are some time of "employment" from personal history.

No.

There are multiple items of non-disclosure in the process. You don't disclose your entire personal balance sheet at any point in time. You don't disclose work history going beyond 10 years. You don't disclose all the Canadian relatives and connections that you might have because it doesn't give you CRS points.

Non-disclosure won't get you rejected. Misrepresentation might.

Thanks Asivad Anac for addressing the query.

Aside to ultra99, Since this post is dated in July, May I check with you what was your final action and whether your application is approved?

I am doing the same. "NO" under spouse's work history. Full disclosure under personal history.
