I have one job i did in 2012, i only have reference letter nothing else and the only thing missing from that letter is Salary.
And that business closed down in 2013.
I can get new reference letter with new date but i am not sure if it is going to be valid ? since the business is closed now.

Any thoughts?
 
Can you track down any former colleagues that could write you a new one?

Find pay stubs, old bank wires where payments are visible? Resignation letter, contract, annual income certification? I'm not sure which documents might be available to you. In Europe we have a paper that shows how much you earned every year...

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Sergio
 
I have seen people attaching salary slips, bank statements and tax docs especially to validate a salary, when they have it missing on ref letter. Search the forum.

This is not a standart approach, and I am not sure if it works - but as a workaround if might.
 
I have had similar situation but I have submitted SOLEMN Affidavit explaining my duties and also stated that the company has been closed. but I don't know whether its a CIC accepted format though I am not claiming any points towards that experience. have you heard about any other workarounds especially when the past company is closed, in case my two out of 5 companies closed :( and Unfortunately, I didn't have the Payslips or bank statements to prove the existence of the company or my work history.

Let me know if you find a better way :)

If you are not using a particular experience to get any CRS points, you dont meed to provide any proof at all. Only the jobs that you base your points on require any proof. Everything else doesnt matter.

So as long as you can provide all the required documents for the work experience you received points for, you are all set.

No pay slips
bank account closed it was 6 years ago
No tax return either
if I don't add this I'll have to wait four more months to complete 3 years foreign work experience
