Hey guys, newbie here.
I got the ITA during the last week draw. I'm preparing to submit the application though horrified when I read through this forum about people's experience about application being put on review. So want to get this thing right in one go.
I'm currently in Canada on a Work Permit. I have about 14 years of experience and the first few are blurry. I have three issues now. First, one of the company I worked was closed long back, I only have an experience letter in Indian format, not in Canadian. My experience in this company is about 2 years. I don't have any paystubs as well - we used to get that in paper those days and it's just too long to keep those paystubs! How can I submit the reference letter for this? I do, have a contact who worked with me in this company (my manager, actually) and I still am connected to the CEO on LinkedIn. But since this company is closed, will they accept the reference letter even if it was given by the CEO? If so, is there a specific format I can use?
Second, there's another company which I am not even sure is operative right now. There are so many companies with the same name that I don't know if that's the one I worked for! I can't find any contacts who worked with me in this company (I worked here for just about 6 months). I have the offer letter, relieving letter and experience letter for this, no paystubs here too.
Third, another small tenure, just 5 months. I have paystubs for all 5 months, offer letter, email confirming they won't give me the reference letter (because my manager is no longer working there and no one there to confirm my roles and responsibilities), Offer letter, acceptance of resignation and service certificate.
Some of my friends gave me advise like don't mention these experience in your PR application. But since I'm already here on a Work Permit, and I have submitted these details in my Work Permit application, I'm not sure if I should follow that advise. I worked in the first two companies more than 10 years before. The last one was my previous employment.
Any help here is appreciated, guys!
