Hi all,
PR application not submitted yet due to pending docs....Mid May last date approaching....Need your advice.
ITA : 13Feb (cut off 75 CRS points).
Current Location : India
Gained CEC while on ICT (closed WP) from April2019 to July2020 (+1yr) to work on client location then returned to India.
Canadian Job offer: Signed employment contract with Canadian Employer in early Feb2021 & Work permit process initiated before ITA. Finally WP approved early April2021 and passport submitted for TRV. But due to COVID-19 surge in India delays are expected.
Past Indian Employer (Emp1) : Emp1 work duration is Sep2008 to Dec2017 (9yrs. 03month). Duties as per NOC2147. There is no way to get reference letter from this employer, not even from coworkers being a Govt organization & research activities. But I have paystubs, form16, increment, offer letters, certificates, work related training certificates.
Current Indian Employer (Emp2): Emp 2 worked duration is 3yrs 04month. Emp2 sent me on WP to Canada to work at Client's lab for +1yrs. First year WP was based on NOC2147 where as second year WP based on NOC2174 (which is in-correct). That time I was not aware of NOC codes but had email discussion with Emp2 lawyer where lawyer claimed that NOC2174 is right to file application & received WP extended for two years i.e. upto 2022.
My claim is NOC2147 in Express profile & best suited to my duties/responsibilities. Emp 2 refused to give me reference letter as per IRCC requirements but my co-worker will help me here.
Please share your valuable suggestions on below tasks/points:
Q1. I plan to claim Canada job offer points because my new WP is based on NOC2147 and Canadian employer will provide me offer letter & employment letter as per IRCC requirements post joining only. But due to new COVID-19 lockdowns in India I may not be able to get TRV anytime soon. Chances of joining Canadian employer by early May are very weak. Already quit my current Indian employer (Emp2). What should I do to complete my PR application? Keep it or remove it ?
Q2 Past Indian Employer (Emp1) : Shall I remove it from my work History as reference letter is a challenge for me here? But on removing, it will create a 9yrs of Gap between my completion of qualification/education & work . Will it be ok to go ahead with Emp2 only in work history ?
Q3 Current Indian Employer (Emp2): At present I have split my work duration with Emp2 between India & Canada durations. This has resulted in two buttons in my doc checklist "Employment records2(required)" & "Employment records 3 (required)". I think with this split it will show clearly my CEC eligibility. But then what about reference letter? Is it fine to attach same reference letter for both being a same employer?
Please share your points
