If I change employment after I submitted my application, I understand I need to scan my updated employment letter and email it to CPP-CTP-OTTAWA-TRV-VRT at cic dot...

    Form imm0008_8e - query regarding point 5

    1. you only need to mention Canadian experience in point 5, form 008. Do not include your Indian experience in this form, there are other forms that ask about your whereabouts in Canada/outside Canada for the past 10 years. 2. if in doubt, the safest way would be to email HRSDS with the...

    No Letter from Employer (Unskilled Job)

    :) I created my own T4s for this employer during tax submission period for my own convenience so not sure how legit they are. The CRA doesn't have a copy of these T4s.

    If you click on the link you provided, it pretty much explains where to get this check done. In simpler words, go to central police station, pay 30 bucks (or more, they'll tell you how much it'll be), they'll get your fingerprints done. Take this piece of paper with fingerprints and send them...
