I am applying under CEC today.... I start working last year in June so I have my T4 and NOA for 2012 . For this year should I include all the pay cheques..
Another thing , can i send photo copy of pay cheques ?
Thanks
 
Pay stubs are optional , T4 is mandatory. You can even choose not to submit pay stubs. If they ask later you can always submit them.
 
It's a good idea to include pay stubs even though it's optional, as pay stubs support your claim of work history.

There is no harm in submitting all the paystubs..In my case, I submitted all my paystubs for 3 years since it contained my working hours every month and since I did not have any solid reference letter which stated the working hours/month, I requested the officer to refer to the working hours on the paystub which is what exactly I worked for. Its up to you to decide whether you wanna submit or not. If you have a strong reference letter with all the required content mandated by CIC, then I suggest to submit the paystubs for the past 6 months...

why to give them a chance and delay your processing. It will cost you only CAD and nothing more. I would advise you to submit it as it will make your case stronger with T4 and other relevant documents

So does the T4. As it stated the money you earned. Cross checked with your reference letter and they know
how much you've worked for the year.
And the VO uses your reference letter to calculate and check your experience, not pay stubs.
It's a good idea to submit if you get paid hourly and have different working hours each weak. If you're on salary,
don't bother submitting, your T4 and reference letter will be enough.
 
Yup. If your work history is complicated, with differing numbers of hours in each week, then your pay stubs may provide evidence of how many total hours you worked. If it's a constant number of hours (e.g. 37.5) as stated on the reference letter, then the pay stubs are going to be window dressing.
 
Apart from reference letter ( i know HR ll do it accordingly) i ll also copy pay stubs and submit ..it ll just make me feel safe..
Should be 25 pay stubs which indicates one year..
 
I have attched my t4 and NOA for 2012. for 2013 ... I have scanned one pay cheque for each month. Also added most recent pay cheque that has my total income so far. Yes my annual income on refernece letter is approximate and could be different because of my variable hours.
 
What if t4 from the company that i work for right now( and ll file my cec) , i dont have but have it from other employers is that ok?
