Is it fine I don’t include current job in PR application post ITA

[Npathak4]

Is it fine if I don’t show my current work experience in my PR application post ITA? I already got ITA based on my past experience and this current job I joined after my pnp invitation. Will it create any problem in case I show this current experience in personal history but this current job is remote but I stayed in Canada for few months and continued job for this employer using a VPN although I was supposed to work remotely from my home country only. So shall I mention about this job in personal history PR application or not ?

As per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...ds/can-i-add-work-experience-post-ita.609026/ you can normally add it in personal history.

But this part, "using a VPN although I was supposed to work remotely from my home country only" is a bit troublesome.

At a guess, I'd speculate that you're still okay to include it in your personal history, as per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...al-for-remote-foreign-work-experience.818120/ it's trouble to count this as foreign work experience (since you were physically present in Canada while working) but also trouble to count this as Canadian work experience (since it's remote work for a foreign employer - presumably no impact to Canadian labour market and all that). So you might not be able to gain any points at all for this work experience - but since you just want to add it to personal history, instead of work history, that's not an issue.

What will you do if IRCC calls your employer and lets slip that you were living in Canada at the time? (Though my understanding is that this is more common for work history where you are counting on the points for that work experience, and it's unlikely to happen if you just add it to personal history.)

Thanks for the information. I already have points based on other past experience, infact I joined this job after I created my EE profile and received pnp invite. Just one question if I add it in just personal history, do i need to submit all the documents for this current employer as well?

As per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...history-personal-history.825726/post-10657932 IRCC doesn't ask for supporting docs for personal history.
