Hello, i am uploading my documents on my profile right now, I just want to confirm something quickly. Under employment records, apart from my letter of reference from my supervisor. Is it necessary to submit my employment letter too?

Yes if you are claiming a valid job offer, otherwise no.

The reference letter is the only mandatory document required everything else that you can provide is an added plus.

Hello fkl,

In regards to the previous post,

I am employed by Shoppers Drug Mart. They just assign me different stores to do accounting for. The only difference is that each stores has a separate owner/associate and I get paid from each store. i.e each 2 weeks I get 4 pay stubs rather than 1. But the duties and responsibilities are same throughout the stores.

I was thinking of having one employment letter written stating that I do the following duties for these 4 stores that are for Shoppers Drug Mart.

Do you think this will help or I will need 4 separate letters.
I think in that case you can try with a single letter. At max CIC would ask shoppers to verify in which case (as you said they assigned you), at least it could be confirmed from shoppers (or could be included in your single letter that you are assigned to work on these 4 stores).

It should be okay given above explanation.

Hi, I am a newbie, please seniors I have a question that is bothering me. Can one have 2 active express entry profiles? There is this scenario I heard of someone who had two with different scores. he got an ITA in one in Nov and the other a month after, he has submitted his eAPR with the first one he got an ITA with, but unfortunately there were errors in the application. Can he withdraw the first application and use the other one or what do you all advise. Thank you.

It is against immigration law to have more than a single profile.

Hello Seniors,

Just gave my medical today, unfortunately in the urine test the blood leucocytes rating was high. Apparently it is because I didnt drink enough water and exercised in the morning. Would it be a concern for cic officers? Also, would it be wise to reappear for medical exam? Would it raise suspicion with cic? Need help please :'(

I have a question regarding work experience. I have 5 years of experience in the US at a Silicon Valley firm. I recently joined this new firm as I got a great opportunity. I am planning to apply through Express Entry. I don't want my new company to know that I am applying so in the work experience, can I leave them out? I can get a reference letter from my previous employers.


Thanks!

Yes but if you have received your ITA you must add such employment in the personal history section, no documentation needed from them.

Got it, so I can leave them out for the assignment of points but need to include them in the personal history if/after I get an ITA. Thank you!

As long as the number of years of your previous experience with your previous employer is sufficient for you to clear the CRS cut off score and get an ITA, u can omit the current employer..

Hey! Can someone guide me where can i get the official CRS calculator. I tried with a couple (one on cic website and other on Canadavisa.Com) both showing different scores.. also the consultant said that the online ones are not updated ones and the one they have will show the precise score.. I am sure that's false!
Help please! Thanks :)

That is indeed a good calculator. However, this is the official calculator on the CIC website:

You wont go wrong.
