Difference between ROE and Employee Reference Letter

[Aguntupalli]

Hello All ,

What is the difference between Record of Employment and Employment Reference Letter for a CEC application?
Does one have to submit ROE as well ? or can ROE be used as a substitute for Employment Reference Letter

Thanks in advance

If you have never received an ROE, it is a form given by your employer when you finish working for them, containing details that determine your eligibility for employment insurance benefits.

It is not a substitute for an employment reference letter.

ROE is issued by employer after you are done working for him. It has all information like Start date and end date.

If you left job (Claiming job experience towards you application) and have a copy of ROE then you can add it to your file as it might help VO determine the length of period you worked for that particular employer. It not mandatory though. You cannot use ROE as a substitute for Employer Reference Letter.

Thanks in advance

Live-in Caregivers are not eligible for Canadian Experience Class as far as I know. They have their own class.

You might want to try another forum that covers that particular stream of PR.

The Letter of Employment/Reference is required, it is the single most important document in your application.

A record of employment is issued by your employer to Service Canada when employment is terminated, to calculate eligiblity for EI. If you are still working for the same employer, there is no ROE. If you are paid on an hourly basis, the good thing is that it shows the number of hours you worked for each pay period and wages earned (it will all be the same if you are salaried). So it can be useful for some people if they need extra proof of employment, or hours worked (e.g. part-time employment). You can get a copy from your employer or Service Canada.
