hello everyone

for foreign work exprience (india) I have only reference letter from my employer
My experience was from 2007 to 2011..
Is the reference letter sufficient? it has all the details of job letter

I dont have paystubs or anything to support that as i was getting wages in Cash
I got a Tax certificate from my IT agent that my wages did not come into the quota so i wasnt paying tax at the time of my earnings.. do i provide that letter or is it fine with only reference letter?

Please response.
Thank you in advance

i think it should be sufficient( i mean its not like you have any other option) .make sure you explain the tax part in an LOE to CIC. rest is upto the VO to decide .

Your application might take much longer than the said processing time. You have to convince the IRCC to believe that your work experience was legit. IMO, no tax records, no pay stubs, just one job reference letter for a 4 year skilled work..... the officers would be highly skeptical

Hi,
only the reference letter is compulsory but it is possible that the case officer may ask for additional supporting documents later.

What kind of experience?

For foreign work only a letter is needed, providing the letter has all the details needed.

For Canadian experience, the letter is needed but it is suggested you also upload T4's and NOAs.

Hello Seniors, my previous two companies provided me reference letters on letterhead. However, another two companies are denied to give on letterhead so I made reference letter on plain paper and then notarised it. My question is that if reference letter is not on letterhead then CIC will ask our tax returns. Note:- I don't have any tax returns till date.

Then you can't give them the tax returns. (Did you not pay tax? CIC aren't keen on that) You will need to submit some evidence you worked there such as pay stubs etc.
