Work History vs. Personal History

Hi all,

I've spent a good amount of time researching this on this forum, and although I know there are no definitive answers with anything EE-related, I am looking for some clarification as I have received very conflicting information.

This is in regards to my girlfriend's application, who received her ITA 22 days ago, shortly after having received provincial nomination in BC. The situation is that on her EE application, as well as on her PNP application, my girlfriend listed about 40 jobs (university, lots of moving around, short gigs, etc.). However, I believe the job that allowed her to be nominated (it says she received 40 CRS points for Canadian Work Experience) is the one she has currently held for over 12 months, and is in NOC category B.

In the questionnaire, under the work experience section, should she list the jobs that only apply to the NOC code that is listed in her profile (which would amount to 2 or three jobs, for which she could certainly get the required reference documents), or should everything be included (all 40 jobs, even though there is no way she will be able to obtain the proper references, in which case I guess she will have to show proof that she attempted to obtain this information but was unsuccessful)?

All the jobs are already listed under personal history, if that makes a difference.

Thank you kindly!

In the employment section, it is enough if she mentions the jobs that fetched her CRS points. There is no point in mentioning jobs that do not fetch her any points.

In the personal history section, she has to mention EVERYTHING since she turned 18 or since the past 10 years whichever is most recent.

It is fine if she mentions only the jobs that fetches her CRS points in the work experience section but in the personal history section, she has to mention everything. For whatever jobs she has mentioned in the work experience section, she MUST provide proof (Employer reference letters, T4s, etc).

Hope that helped!!

Thank you! :)

This was my thought as well after reading numerous posts on here, however an immigration lawyer recommended listing all jobs under work history as well, and then if unable to get references, provide a letter explaining that an attempt was made to contact the employer.

Is there a way to track exactly which job would have gotten her CRS points? I'm almost certain that I know which one it is, but would like to make sure.

Thanks again.

One more important thing is not to leave any gaps in personal history - on a month to month level at least.

If you were unemployed at some point mention that. So yes you have to mention every thing.

I am not sure what you mean by "way to track".

You would have mentioned x years as Canadian experience in the crs and it would have calculated points based upon that.

There is nothing in the points system validating your jobs / or picking jobs. It is you who claim an experience of certain years and CIC would only evaluate that latter.
