Out of 7 jobs declared....

[Funkdakarma]

.....I have the correct template of reference letter available for 6 of those jobs.

The 7th one is acting rather flaky about getting me a reference letter in the absolute right format that I've requested with all the CIC stipulations, but I've discovered that I have received an employment certificate from them a few years ago (issued after I left them), which contains most of the requirements, but doesn't expand too much on the job responsibilities, and doesn't declare the number of hours worked.

My question is: will this be a basis for rejection of my application? Or will it just mean that I may not be awarded get points for that experience?

Thanks!

If the six jobs cover more than 3 years, you can simply move the seventh to your personal history section and forego the need to upload any proof of employment.

You can also include other supporting information like tax returns or pay stubs.

Thank you!

I've already added the job to my employment experience, but haven't yet submitted the e-APR in full with uploaded documents. Can you still delete that row from the Employment Experience section?

I have an offer of employment from them (with only my signature), along with the letter stated before. Where I live and work, we don't file tax returns or get pay stubs.

Basically, if I only submit that letter (and maybe the offer of employment), does it mean that:

a) they will reject the application because of insufficient proof?

or

b) there is a likelihood that they won't consider that job towards my points, but will consider my other experience (which amounts to 8 years or so without that job, which was only 6 months)?

Thanks for your advice!

Where do you live exactly??

Actually the Tax docs or the Payslips/Paystubs are not mandatory docs, but yes they can help your cause if the relevant docs such as Reference Letter is not having all the information laid out by the CIC. Hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time to reply samuelja

I live in the United Arab Emirates, we don't file for taxes here, and all salary is usually wire transferred by bank as opposed to cheques with pay stubs.

Yes, you can modify anything before you submit, you just need to make sure it doesn't lower your points below the CRS cutoff for your ITA, or below the 67/100 FSW requirement.

Thanks a lot for clarifying. I have about 10 years worth of employment experience, I think taking out the one job which was for only 6 months anyway would not make a material difference to the points.

You can prove employment from letters from colleagues, former supervisors, clients etc. You can get the letter on a plain paper with what IRCC requires and get it notarized. Also add more documents, like the joining letter, any promotion letters given or other documents.

You can even omit this experience, but make sure that you still meet the minimum CRS score and the program score you have allied for.
