I am very new to this forum. I liked it a lot. I can see my kind of applicants here. Ok here's my profile . I applied for PR under FSW on june 10, 2011. I am residing in canada from 3 years. I came here on Student visa. I completed my degree in december 2010. I started my employement in march 2011 under the PGWP.I have it valid till march 2014.The company which i work is a big electronics company in toronto. I work 37.5 hours per week with $15/hour. I get paid bi-weekly. So my doubt is that Can I file CEC class coming march?. And one more doubt is that after march I would be leaving that company and look for a new job. So will this VO will call that employer?. Because the offer of employement was made as "This letter is contingent for obtaining PR from canadain authorities. Like I got a permanent job offer letter. So if i leave would it be a problem after completing 1 year of employement? Please reply.
 
Brother you can apply in the category of canadian experience class only if you atleast 1 year of full time canadian work experience and it is almost sure that they will call you previous employer...............
 
Would they still call if I got the T4 and paycheques , n stuff. I don't think so!!! Anyways thanks for ur reply dude. T4 tells how genuine you are...!

Hi bigben,

I am sure you have gone through the link below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

And you are referring to this part from the above link:

a foreign graduate from a Canadian post-secondary institution with at least one year of full-time (or equivalent) skilled work experience in Canada

Yes, you would qualify for CEC, if you have the above requirement in addition to the other requirements.

As far as submitting T4....yes it is a vital document to prove that you have WORKED legally but it DOES NOT MENTION THE PERIOD OF YOUR WORK, which is extremely important in your case. If you check the T4 you will just find the YEAR of income but it does not specifically mention the EXACT PERIOD (date and month).
So, IMO, you would be safe if you provide all the pay stubs, bank deposits of your salary in support of "gainful employment" in addition to T4. Also include any other proofs that is necessary to strengthen your case.

You can mention in your cover letter why you are unable to provide reference letter from your previous employer. It is not necessary that all Employee-Employer relationship should be "All Good" ; there are difference of opinions and that is a realistic situation.
