Hi, I am going to apply for the CEC and I have 2 ROE documents from Service Canada.

My question is, are the ROE documents enough to show evidence for the 1 year of experience or you need something else?

Thanks.

No you will need a letter from each employer as detailed below.

Proof of work experience

Purpose
To prove each work experience claim and to validate that the applicant meets program requirements

Document requirements
  • The personalized document checklist in applicants’ online account prompts the applicant with an upload field for each work experience declared.
  • At the completeness check, the processing office determines only whether the required documents are included. The validity or fraudulence of the information is assessed only if and when the application is placed into processing.
The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

  • a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
  • if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

The main document is the employer letter. There is no obligation to supply ROE, T4, or payslips but you can add these to support your application. IRCC may or may not ask for ROE T4 payslips if you don't add them to your application.

At the bottom it is written,

That kinda implies T4 and notice of assessment is sufficient if your work experience is Canadian. I submitted ROE for my work experience along with T4 because my employer refused to issue me a letter unfortunately. My application is still under process so can't say if i did the right thing, but i have passed my R10 completeness check.

Will do, hopefully everything goes good. I mean i know some employers don't issue these letters and CIC should understand that because it is not our fault if employers don't want to issue letters.
