Hi Guys,

I have an NOI and need to submit an application to the province. However, while filling out the forms I came across some areas I am not too sure of how to approach them. I hope to gain some insight from your experiences here with the application.

i. How does one provide a reference letter for express entry if self-employed or running your own business? Also, is it mandatory to have a work history if you are not the primary applicant and going through the PNP route? I am thinking of removing my wife's work history from EE profile as I might be unable to upload reference letters for those.

ii. As the principal applicant, do I need to indicate my current employment in the work history(as I would need to provide a reference letter)? Doing this would mean I need to ask the employer for a reference letter and that would indicate I intend to leave them for another province (currently work as a skilled worker in a different province from Alberta). Is it possible to only enter your previous workplaces excluding the one listed as your current workplace? Or all the workplaces listed in the EE work history section


iii. My reference letters were obtained a few years ago long before I traveled to Ca for school. Do these need to be very recent? Does anyone know if they contact the employers? (It's possible the HR folks listed in the reference letters might have even left these companies).

iv. Do we need to include secondary/high school information(along with elementary school) in the education history section? I am thinking its an overkill after inputting masters, bachelors and secondary school information.

v. Can one merge files for upload...e.g WES for self and spouse etc?

It all depends on the AB officer processing it. My nomination came in email like yours, but it wasn’t sent through to my IRCC profile until a day or two after.
Just make sure on the nomination certificate that all the details match your IRCC profile (job code, NOC, EE profile number etc). Otherwise just reply to the person who emailed you, they’re usually pretty quick to respond.
