How to Confirm Work Experience for Immigration to Canada
Tips and requirements for successfully validating your professional experience on the path to a Canadian visa.
To immigrate to Canada, you may need to prove your work experience. This means using documents to show that you actually worked and gained experience in the profession you're using for immigration.
It might seem simple, but immigration officers aren't particularly interested in your work record books or employment contracts. While these may be required in some cases, they aren't the main form of proof.
In Canada, the primary evidence of work experience is a Reference Letter. However, this isn't just a standard recommendation letter, but rather a letter (or certificate) that confirms your work experience and meets specific requirements. In this article, we'll show you an example of such a reference letter.
The official Canadian website provides 4 recommendations for what should be included in a reference letter or letter of employment from an employer:
- The letter should be an official document, printed on company letterhead.
- It should include the applicant's name, the company's contact information (address, phone number, and email address).
