Supporting documents for Foreign work experience under EE

[Chirag0389]

Hello,

I have 3 years of part time foreign country experience (30 hrs a week). My question is, which documents do I need in order to justify my experience? I have offer letter provided by the employer and after the completion of contract they gave me an experience letter stating my job duties and the period of time I worked there. Would it be enough? As I was working part time and my employer was paying me cash I don't have any paystubs and according to the tax policies of that country I was exempt to pay any income tax.

Someone please reply to my query.

Regards.

Good that you have documents........Try and get a reference letter with last 6 months of pay stubs

Gather as many documents as you can as this will justify your experience if CIC ask you to.

Also check on the Federal Skilled Worker threads for all the hints there. Be sure that your boss does not repeat the NOC description for your ref letter. Getting proof of experience is an essential element of fulfilling the fsw requirements. Go carefully. Good luck.

I do have a reference/experience and job offer letter but as I mentioned earlier that I was working on cash so my employer was issuing me a cash memo which I don't have anymore with me. I have 2 years of Canadian work experience with all pay stubs and supporting docs. Its just that I don't have pay stubs from my foreign employer.

Any possibility you can show regular bank deposits to support the cash payments?

Hello Pippin,

Thank you so much for replying back on this thread. I am currently working in Toronto and going to apply for PR under CEC. I am showing Indian experience to gain few extra points. About bank deposit slips, yes I do have deposit slips. Do I need them along with job experience letter?

Also please state if any additional letter is required.

Thanks,
Chirag

Hi, why "you say make sure your boss does not repeat the NOC description", I thought thats what expected. I got an ITA in CEC and just about getting ref letters from abroad. I sent them the NOC description so they can use it for the letter, was it a bad idea, then?

Sorry to sound like a broken record but so many of the EE issues are tied up in the same struggles experienced in FSW stream. Read, read, read these threads. Do a search in the white box top right corner for key words.
If ref letters are copy and paste from NOC description the VO can chuck it out. Having NOC as resource is useful but make sure your job duties are reflected.

The suggestion about bank slips was to help prove income if
There are no official pay stubs. I just thought it would show a regular income.
