CEC- a few questions

[Hi my friend]

Hi, I have a few questions:
1. what is the difference between letter of employment and employer reference letter?

2. I worked as a Cook (NOC 6322) and Food Service Supervisor(NOC 6311) in my company before i was promoted to managerial position. Should i mention this experience with my managerial experience? Should i just let it go?

3. I am international student who has lived in Canada for three years now, so which visa office should i apply to depending on my present country of residence being canada?

4. For work experience if you did not yet get the NOA or T4 for the eligible work experience, is it sufficient to submit your paystubbs with employment letter?

Your help is extremely appreciated.

1/ Reference letter is specially written upon your request, addressing the query. Letter of employment is a letter you will get after you're done with the company (some companies issue this automatically, some do it upon request)

2/ It's best if you mention everything, how are you going to fill the gap? Just leave it blank? (Better discuss this with a professional)

3/ All the CEC applications go to Sydney, Nova Scotia, no matter where you are, you need to send it to Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia (Canada)

4/ Nope, It's best if you get the T4, they would need it at some stage. It's an approval for your work experience. It means you have filed your taxes and worked properly.

Best of luck,

1) It's pretty much the same letter of employment states that you are currently employed within the company, reference letter they give you after you are done with company.

2) Yes mention all of your jobs, don't leave the gaps even if you would have to put unemployed.

3) If your visa/work permit is going to expire in less than a year then apply from country of origin if more than a year from Canada.

Use this application if you are:

a temporary worker with at least one year of work experience in Canada, or
a graduate from a Canadian post-secondary school with at least one year of work experience in Canada, and you want to apply for permanent residence.

4) Yes it's T4 and NOA or paystubs with employment letter but if you have both it's better for you to attach as much as possible. You never know how VO will behave.
