I submitted my application on Nov 14. I have a doubt regarding work experience letter:
My company has policy that managers or HR cannot provide employment verification letter with all the details that CIC need. They can only provide a letter on blank paper (no letterhead), detailing job duties. The employment verification is provided via a document from theworknumber.com. Interested parties can also visit the website to verify the details. So I uploaded the following in a single doc:
1. A letter explaining the above.
2. Job duties letter from manager, signed by her, along with her contact info
3. Verification letter from theworknumber.com: It has employment status (Active), length of employment, job title, biweekly pay, number of hours per week, start date, total income earned per year for last 4 years and a footnote saying this document is electronically approved by the employer.
4. Original job offer letter - its on company letter head
5. Promotion letter - it is also on letterhead. It has my current annual salary
6. 2 most recent pay slips

What are the chances of my application getting rejected? Any ideas? I am nervous about this, but have no other options.

1. Is it after received PPR, I can assume everything is fine and no further documents or interview is required?
2. What is the expected time to receive the CoPR after submission of passport copy (visa-free nationality)?

Thanks so much.

Hello Experts,

With regards to employment references, I learnt that any experience more that 6 years does not count for points, it this correct?

I have 9+ yrs of experience = 4.4 yrs (in current company) + 1.8 yr (in last company) + prev company

So if I provide references for current and last companies, would that be that sufficient?
Also would not be mentioning prev company details in EE profile? Do they ask what did I do after graduation because there is no record of my prev company as per EE profile..?

Please suggest.

Thank you!
1 - If you're applying through FSW program work experience within the past 10 years will count.
2 - Reference letters from your current/previous company is sufficient
3 - If you're not claiming points for other work experience do not mention it in the work history section, once you receive your ITA you can mention it in the personal history section.

Cheers :)

You can check your eligibility here http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/cometocanada.asp

You need to do the IETLS test (or the CELPIP test) to measure your English skills.

Do you have any idea how can I obtain points for education under " Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees", I got my credential assessment report (Bachelor and postgraduate diploma) but I cannot find this option in the drop down menu while building the profile. They only have Bachelor, master and phd degrees.

It doesn't exist anymore, the system will calculate if you are elegible for "two or more certificates" when you add your education credentials.

Hi. I have applied for PR through inland sponsorship in August 2016, expecting that the whole process my take around 12-18 months.
I would also like to apply for Express Entry at the same time? Can I have two applications at the same time? If yes, then would one application affect another?

Does this mean that I cannot add my postgraduate diploma because it's Canadian equivalent is one semester (less than one year)

I was unable to find evidence that a person successfully claimed "two or more certificates" with an equivalency of one semester.

Check this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/can-i-select-two-or-more-certificates-with-wes-evaluation-as-collegelevel-cert-t392225.0.html

Maybe try to contact the people who were on the same boat.

Cheers ;)

I have a quick question, for the express entry question on the work experience.
Do you need to list ALL the jobs you have taken or only the ones in line with the NOC you want to apply to?

I worked in Canada under the PGWP and did various jobs such as sales, cashier but I am only basing my application on NOC 1241 which I have one year experience in.
Please advise. and if so do i need to get the employment letter from all the employers?

Only the jobs that you're claiming points for.

Everything else you can include in the personal history section once you receive your ITA.
