Hello,

I am in Post ITA stage and have a query.

Is it true that we need to provide comprehensive documentation only for jobs we enter in the WORK HISTORY section when creating the EE profile?
I have a gap of almost 2 years in my work history. Although i was working for some organizations but cannot provide documentry evidence. Should i add them in Personal History? or show myself as unemployed for that period of time?

A quick response will be appreciated.

It's preferable to put jobs you don't have work references for in personal history, because it demarcates which work experience you're claiming points for and which work experience you're not.

But what about documentry evidence? Its near to impossible for me to produce them. Will they ask for them?

No, they won't, they will only ask for documentation for work experience which you're claiming points for.

To my knowledge, you will not require reference letters for work experience that is put in your personal history section. The work experience section is for work you are claiming points for, and you absolutely need to upload the letters for those.

So, if you have enough points that you can leave those 2 years out of there and put them in personal history, then do that. But absolutely don't say you were unemployed, because that is not true.

I stayed Begium for one year. In this period of time i had visited 17 EU countries, and my pasport was not stamped while crossing the border. So my question is : i have visited 22 different countries and among them, i would be show 8-10 stamped in my pp. So, is it feasible to give every entry? If so, then how will be it validated?

I would upload a Letter of Explanation (LoE) when you submit your application, wherein you explain all that in detail.
