Hi Stanlee,

I have submitted my application and CIC din't ask me any IMM form or Background declaration form. Is this something they will ask later while processing my application. As there there was no row to upload any additional doc. Although I have explained the case in my LOE.

Thanks You.

Yes, it has been observed that for the applicants who answer YES to Statutory Questions are asked to submit this form later. They would be asked for it by CIC, in case they need one.

Okay, what you are telling is that your consultant has submitted your EE profile. EE profile can be submitted anytime, 24X7. However, to receive an ITA, there has to be a draw. You have to get yourself accustomed to the system a little bit. Please go through the resource below.

Do I need to get police clearance from Canada, if I am applying for PR from within Canada.

I have been living in Canada for past 3 years, completed MASc and then have been working since past 1 year. I have initiated process to get updated police clearance from back home. Do I need to get one for my time in Canada too ?

As per CIC website, it says no but I know a friend from my school who recently submitted an APR, under a different category but he is has been living in Canada for some time too. He told me that he was asked for Canadian police clearance.

Maybe. If IRCC require a PCC, they will request it later on in the process.

hi everybody,
Just a quick question - I am returning to my work after maternity leave. Should I include maternity leave in my experience? I could not find any information anywhere on this.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions about proof of work experience.

1) When I visited my home country in March, I visited my former employer and asked for a reference letter. It includes all information required by CIC, but it was dated March 2016. Do letters of reference for previous work experience have an expiry date?

2) Regarding my current job in Canada (which I use to claim points for CEC), is it adequate to submit a reference letter along with payslips from the past 6 months? I have T4 for the year 2015 but I just started in October 2015, so I do not think T4 would provide much info. Therefore, I do not plan to submit T4 but will submit payslips instead.

Thank you so much for your kind support.

1. Letters of experience obtained from previous employer after you have left them does not have any validity.

2. In addition to reference letters and salary slips submit T4 as well as the requirement states to submit T4 as well.
