    I did not disclose a temp job that I had before I received my ITA. How do I proceed with disclosing or witholding it so I don't risk being declined?

    Long story short. I started a Temp job in late Sept. Entered the pool in early October and did not disclose that I started employment fearing they would ask me for an employment letter for a job I wasn't planning on staying in for more than a month. This job's NOC is not relevant to...

    Is this experience letter detailed enough to cover NOC 1111?

    So I got this letter a while back from my employer back in my home country, before I came to Canada to do my Masters. I guess my questions are: 1- Would the fact that this letter was dated 2 years before my PR application matter? Should I get my previous employer to issue me a "fresh" one to be...

    Does the letter of employment have to be submitted in a sealed envelope by the company?

    Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but I requested an employment letter as per the criteria required by CiC, but my ex-employer gave it to me in a sealed envelope.
