Work Experience Question

[Antsaab]

Hello!

My wife and I applied to Canada immigration with EE. She is the main applicant. In the profile, I did mention my work experience (outside Canada) not knowing that it is irrelevant to our application.

Last week, we received a LOI from Ontario.

My question is can I now remove my work experience from my EE profile without any consequences to avoid the hassle of preparing supporting documents? I would mention them in the personal history post ITA.

Anyone here who has done that and had no issues getting PR with no questions asked?

Thanks!
Anthony

You can if;

- that work experience was not effective in Ontario sending you a letter of interest (in other words, if Ontario is not interested in your experience in that NOC) AND,
- not claiming points for that work experience won't change your CRS score (in other words, if you're already claiming 3+ years of work experience without that)

I did the exact same in my AINP application and had no issues. Of course this is the case for a principal applicant but I'd take caution. If you still don't want to do absolutely anything about it, your only option is to write a letter of explanation to both Ontario and IRCC and see what happens.

I did not get any pts. for my work experience and as far as I know, Ontario is not interested one bit in my NOC.. My main concern is modifying the EE profile to no experience after receiving the LOI. Wouldn't it be suspicious for them that I removed my work experience after receiving LOI? (even if 0 pts were given)?

First of all neither IRCC nor Ontario would get too suspicious since your NOC is irrelevant to that particular OINP draw and that you're not claiming points for it. Still, removing it all silently after getting a nomination is indeed shady; so I suggest you bring this up in a letter of explanation and fully disclose that you have removed your work experience as you thought it was irrelevant to the whole procedure (do not mention anything about points but do mention that you've added them in your personal history). If IRCC cares enough, you'll get an additional document request (which you don't want to but it happens). To me this is the safest way that you'll probably get away without an additional document request.
