CEC Experience

[PaulTkn]

Hi,

I am on deputation in canada and have been working here for an year. I have my deputation letter which states the deputation is for 90 days, but that was only due to some internal budget issues. Can i use that along with my payslip and notice of assessment to prove 1 year of experience in canada. I dont think the company will provide a detailed formal experience letter in my case

If you cannot provide the standard documentation (work experience letter from your employer) then payslips covering the qualifying period would establish that you worked for the company, but not your job duties (to establish that it is skilled work). If your deputation letter does include your duties you could also provide that with a letter of explanation how 90 days turned into a year, although that is not the crucial issue. The crucial issue is what you actually did during your employment.

How about a reference letter from colleague? Does that suffice?

Colleague? Weak. Manager, maybe.

That letter is useless, IRCC has some very clear guidelines in terms of what information your letter of experience should include.

Paystubs and NOA are good supporting documents, but without a letter with duties and all the specifications required by IRCC you risk an almost certain refusal.

The letter actually needs to be from the person supervising you or HR usually. A letter from a colleague could be useful as an additional document. Read IRCC's webpage, it clearly indicates what your letter MUST contain.
