Hi,

I hope you can help me.

I worked for an employer for 1.5 yrs with 2 different job titles but the same NOC 1111 (Foreign work experience under FSW). Below is the draft of my COE that will be signed by the HR Manager:

This is to certify that xxx had been an employee of xxx in the following positions:

Job Title: General Accounting Specialist
Period: July 7, 2016 to Jan 31, 2017
Employment Type: Regular full-time employee (40 hours per week)
Basic Monthly Salary: Php xxxxx

Job Title: Internal Auditor
Period: Feb 1, 2017 to Dec 18, 2017
Employment Type: Regular full-time employee (40 hours per week)
Basic Monthly Salary: $$$$

Her remuneration on an annual basis comprises of the following:
1. Total Annual Basic Salary : $$$$
2. 13th, 14th Month Pay & Other benefits : $$$$
Total : $$$$

Despite changes in job title, her main job duties throughout her employment remained the same as follows:

  • Prepare financial statements for internal and external users.
  • Prepare special financial reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing account information and trends.
  • Collect and analyze financial data, ensuring that all reporting is in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations and accounting standards reporting guidelines.
  • Substantiate financial transactions by auditing documents and reconcile financial discrepancies.
  • Recommend financial actions by analyzing accounting options.
  • Prepare income tax returns.
  • Maintain general ledger accounts by reconciling accounts receivable detail and control accounts; adjusting entries for amortizations of prepaids; analyzing and reconciling accounts payable ledgers; preparing fixed asset depreciation and accruals.
  • Performs account analysis, bank reconciliation, and income and expense reporting.
  • Guide accounting clerical staff by coordinating activities and answering questions.
  • Audit payroll by analyzing reports within the payroll system in place.
  • Perform quarterly inventory count in all warehouses.

My questions are:
1. Will the job experience be considered as 1 year?
2. Is this reference letter enough? Or should I repeat the job duties for each position?
3. What changes should I do or information that I should add?
4. Is this considered as NOC 1111?
5. My employer is also willing to write the Internal Auditor position for the entire period. Is this a great idea?

Please help.


Thank you.

My questions are:
1. Will the job experience be considered as 1 year? Yes.
2. Is this reference letter enough? Or should I repeat the job duties for each position? Letter appears to have all the required elements.
3. What changes should I do or information that I should add? None that I can see.
4. Is this considered as NOC 1111? You're asking this now? There's a lot of technical jargon in the NOC, but the key element seems to be 'compliance'.
5. My employer is also willing to write the Internal Auditor position for the entire period. Is this a great idea? I think it would be a great idea if your employer's letter reflected only what you actually did and was not tailored improperly to some imagined immigration requirement.
