Proving Canadian Work Experience: Vital for PR Pathways and Express Entry
Applicants for Canadian permanent residence must accurately claim and prove their selected work experience, especially for regulated professions. This is crucial as selected work experience is vital for many PR pathways and influences the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for Express Entry candidates.
To prove Canadian work experience, applicants must show they were lawfully employed by an authorized third party. Official documents such as letters of reference, employment contracts, pay slips, or certificates from previous employers are essential. These documents should clearly outline the work experience and duties performed. For regulated professions, IRCC officers will verify that the applicant was appropriately licensed in each jurisdiction. Additionally, credentials assessments by recognized Canadian authorities or professional regulatory bodies may be required to validate foreign work experience and qualifications.
IRCC officers may question the chosen National Occupation Classification (NOC) code for claimed work experience. Applicants must ensure they have performed all actions described in the lead statement and main duties of the chosen NOC. Self-employed work experience may not be recognized in many Canadian immigration streams. Therefore, IRCC officers will evaluate factors to determine if an applicant was an employee or self-employed during Canadian work experience.
If an immigration officer is unsatisfied with the chosen NOC, additional supporting documentation may be required. Correctly claiming and proving work experience is vital for foreign nationals seeking Canadian permanent residency, as it significantly impacts their application's success.
