Hello all, I need some guidance on my work history
I had a total of 3 jobs while I was in studying in university
The NOC associated with the jobs do not get me any points.
The jobs were on campus (though they weren’t exclusively for students; I was hired on an off-campus work permit).
I was working all 3 jobs at the same time.
They were part time and I was an on-call worker for all of them. Basically, I’d pick up shifts as they became available. This meant the jobs were not regular and I cannot associate or even approximate the number of hours I worked per week. Some weeks I didn’t get any shifts and some weeks I worked the full 20 hours that I was allowed to work on my off-campus work permit.
My problem:
It is difficult for me to approximate how many hours I worked per job.
My official start and end dates for the jobs don’t reflect how much work I did (since they were not regular). Example: I resigned 6 months after I picked up my last shift so my official resignation date. So my employment letters will not reflect the time period I actually worked.
There is considerable overlap between all the jobs.
My questions:
1 - Since the jobs don’t get me any points, is it okay if I don’t mention them in the Work History section but mention them in my Personal History Section (in the Personal Activities sub-section)? I’ll also mention in my Letter of Explanation that I did not add them to my Work History section because I’m not claiming any points for them.
2 - If I put the jobs in the Personal History Section only, do I still have to provide employment letters?
3 - If I put 1 of the jobs in my Work History section when I filled out my application initially (before I was invited to apply). The NOC I provided for the job was “C” so it doesn’t affect my points in my opinion. Can I safely remove it from the Work history section and only add it in the Personal History Section of the PR application?
I'd like to keep things simple but truthful!
Thanks in advance.
