Hi,

I have worked in Company A for 7 Years (3 years India and 4 Years US) and presently working in Company B (in US) for last 1.5 year. In Company A, I had 4 different Job Titles and in Company B I have had 2 Job Titles; although my Job duties correspond to same NOC for all the job titles

While filling the Work History section, I have added one row correspond to each Job title so essentially 6 rows.

For Company A, I have a work experience letter, however it does not entail all the information that's mentioned in here. The key differences being
1. It only mentions the last job title.
2. It does not mention the number of hours worked per week
3. It does not mention the last drawn salary

For Company B, I have do not think I would be able to get a work experience letter in an official letterhead since I am still working

My questions are:
1. Should my work history have 6 rows or 2 (one each for Company A and B with the job title/location as the recent one something like

Company A Title 4 US
Company B Title 6 US

2. Is it fine if all the information requested can be provided in separate official documents instead of a single letter. For eg. my salary slips have the number of hours worked and the job title held. For Company B, I have the offer letter mentioning my Job Title and Job duties.

In a nutshell, I can provide all the information in an official letter head, but in the form of multiple documents. Is that acceptable? Please advise

I have exactly same question, so hopefully someone would be able to help us with this.
i talked to some people and posted similar question here
I'm guessing I need to do the following:
For company A, i'll add 2 rows, one each for India & US mentioning the last held Job title when I worked in the respective locations.
Regarding the details that are missing from my skill certificate, I'll add a LOE and provide other official documents (eg, payslip, appraisal letter etc.) as proof.

For Company B, I'm considering either of Option 1 or 2
Option 1:
Remove it from Work History and keep it only in Personal History (looking at other threads this should be fine as CRS score is not affected) to avoid unnecessary delay in procuring documents.

Option 2:
Add one row in Work History for current designation. Submit a LOE citing the reason that company policy mandates non-issuance of such a letter for current employee. Submit other documents (eg. payslip, proof of employment, offer letter etc.).

I guess, if there's any issue, the VO will respond seeking corrective action/further clarification and accordingly one may move forward. I understand this is a common issue and an experienced VO is aware of such a thing.
