Foreign Work Experience – Limited Bank Statements & Pay Stubs – Is This a Problem?

[Lyn50]

I’m gathering documents for my foreign work experience and had a quick question regarding bank statements. Did anyone here include them in your submission?

I’m wondering if it’s necessary to show bank statements for all 3 years of salary deposits. In my case, not all of my salary was paid into my bank account. I can only show:

• 2 months of salary deposits from 2019
• 1 month from 2020
• 3 months from 2021
• And my final salary deposit in 2022

Would this be an issue? I also only have 3 pay stubs I kept from the 3-year period as I no longer have access.
Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated—thank you!

You are not required to submit them at all, they are just nice to have.

A reference letter which states how much you were paid is a strict requirement.

yes I have those! But with the way IRCC has become strict with foreign work experience...I feel like i do need to add supporting documents to prove I worked at the company.
