I am working on collecting all of the documents since I received an ITA for PR. I haven't run into any issues yet, but some possible scenarios regarding collecting past employment information came to mind and I am wondering how they would be handled on the application.
1) What CIC is asking for is quite detailed. Start date, end date, compensation, and position title are pretty standard and any HR department should have those available. However, such things as being able to collect signatures of past supervisors or providing the job description of each position held may seem unlikely depending on the size of the organization and how well they are organized. What if a past employer is unwilling to provide, or unable to provide all of the information?
2) The same information is required for current employers. I work in the US. To me, it is none of my employer's business if I am pursuing immigrating to another country or seeking employment elsewhere. It only becomes their business when I have received an offer and/or I have been granted PR status. Otherwise, I am basically giving them a reason to replace me as soon as possible because I have indicated to them that I don't plan on being around long, whether or not I actually have anything concrete. So it is entirely plausible that I tell them, they let me go, I never land a job offer in Canada, and I don't get PR status. I become unemployed for no reason. So I am curious: how is everyone else handling obtaining this information from their current employer that doesn't raise red flags?
