[IMM 1294] Employment History Questions

[BeneBC]

Hello!

I was wondering how to approach the Employment History section of the IMM 1294 form. Now I understand this is fairly self-explanatory so let me give me some context.

• I'm 20 y.o.
• I'm currently a university student (planning to transfer to Canada)
• I have no full-time work experience
• I have 2 part-time work experience

So my main question revolves around whether or not I have to declare my part-time work experiences in the employment history section of IMM 1294. I've read around here and there and have a good feeling I should; however, I don't really have any evidence such as employment certificates, recommendation letters, payslips, etc. so how should I exactly approach this situation?

Do I just not declare these jobs and remove them from my resume (albeit I'm worried this may be grounds for misrepresentation down the line)? Or can I provide a letter of explanation emphasizing on the fact that my jobs were part-time and didn't really come with proper documentation (do I use pictures in place of official documentation LUL)?

Appreciate your guys' time, help and answers!

IMO, if you don't have any documentary proof, then just remove it. How can it be considered misrepresentation if you don't have any proof like employment letter or payslip and exclude that in your resume? What could be a future headache is if you put that in your resume and IRCC asks you for documentary proofs in the future, which you cannot provide.

Just my opinion, though. Others may give a different view.

I agree, that's indeed a valid point. However, I'd like to clarify the misrepresentation aspect of this inquiry.

Would it be classed as misrepresentation to not declare these part-time work experience (and remove them from my resume) for IRCC related purposes but use a resume inclusive of these part-time work experience for job applications within Canada?

Once again, appreciate the insight!

Well, since you don't have any documentary proof, it won't be considered misrepresentation if you don't mention it. However, if you mention it and IRCC asks you (if and when IRCC asks you), then that could be misrepresentation if you cannot provide the documents to support your claim. Unless, IRCC accepts anecdotal affidavits.

Again, this is just an opinion.

Best of luck to your application.
