Thanks, this is helpful. Presumably you didn't have to provide detailed evidence in the form of career episodes? I'll have to go down the full assessment route it seems as my degree was not accredited when I graduated as the university in question failed to renew it on time (it was accredited before, after and till date).
Unfortunately I no longer have most of my original paper pay stubs or tax documents for the period I was employed. Do you think the reference letter (indicating salary) and bank statements would suffice (although they would show salary payments after tax), along with some digitally issued pay stubs and tax information?
Also did you have to supply any original documents for either skill evaluation or for the visa application itself? I've only got single copies of my IELTS, PCC etc which I would need for Canada.
I didn't do any submissions in their 'career episodes' format. Reading through this format, I think what they are looking for is very similar to information found in engineering proposals and reports of projects one has made contributions in.
In terms of employment verification, I think your reference letters, bank statements, and digital pay stubs will suffice. My employee payments are done through direct deposit, so I do not have physical paychecks, but I have them in PDF format, so I submitted those.
I also uploaded my IELTS results. You can have your English proficiency requirements waived if you include a reasonable explanation, but if you already have your IELTS results for immigration, might as well provide them with this.
As jairichi mentioned, everything is done online and digitally, so you can scan everything, save them as PDF, upload it to your portal, and you can keep all of your original documents (no need to mail anything original).
I am sure if they require any additional information from you, they will kindly request it.
Good luck!
