You can upload the same reference letter for both if it contains all the details.

Do I need to include proof of funds for Express Entry?
You will be asked to enter in your Express Entry profile the amount of money you will have to help you settle in Canada. This is to show that you can support yourself and any family who come with you to Canada, and helps us assess which programs you may be eligible for.

You will only need to meet the settlement fund requirement if it applies to the program you are invited to apply under.

If you are invited to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program or Federal Skilled Trades Program, you will need to show that you meet the settlement funds requirement unless you:

* are currently authorized to work in Canada, and
* have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada.
Note: You do not have to meet the funds requirement if you were invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class.

The system currently asks all applicants to provide a proof of funds document. If you don’t need to provide proof of funds, you must upload a letter explaining either that you have been invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class, or that you have a valid job offer.

Change it to the correct one. If it's still skilled and by removing it you aren't leaving your primary noc unsupported, you're fine.

Hi kryt0N,

Could you please help me with:

1. My reference letter doesn't contain annual salary and hours/week so would my relieving letter which contains my salary work ? I will also include last 2-3 months pay slips. Also for hours/week, following mail from HR would work ?

Use the attached skilled template which contain the following details:
• Date of Joining - (this will be as per Company records)
• Date of Release - (this will be as per Company records)
• Designation - (this will be as per Company records)
• Skill set / Role and Responsibilities in bullet points (Maximum 5-6 points) - (needs to be updated by you)
• No project names, client names,Hours,Time, Country Name and date should be stated while providing the skill set.

2. I have worked for a company in two different locations, at first location, I was a trainee (job title : X, just 2 months) and then transferred to second location (job title : Y). Now I have only one reference letter (with my last job title :Y) without mentioning any of my working locations. Should I create two records in work history and provide same reference letter for both? I will also be including my offer letter mentioning my job title X.

My roles and responsibilities were little different in first location as I was a trainee but reference letter start date has joining date.

Please suggest.

Just Employer reference letter is enough to show past work experience.?
Well, yes, that's all.

But your follow up question was about proof of funds under CEC:

Note: You do not have to meet the funds requirement if you were invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class.

The system currently asks all applicants to provide a proof of funds document. If you don’t need to provide proof of funds, you must upload a letter explaining either that you have been invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class, or that you have a valid job offer.
