Where this information comes from
IRCC’s supporting documents page lists reference letters from employers “with your job duties, dates you worked there, and salary” as proof of work experience, and the Express Entry documents page asks for proof of work experience such as a reference or experience letter from an employer. The other items in our checklist are what officers expect to see in practice and what immigration lawyers advise; IRCC publishes no official letter form.
Occupation codes, titles and descriptions are adapted from Statistics Canada, National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 Version 1.0. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.
CVMaple is not affiliated with IRCC and does not give legal advice. A reference letter must be checked, corrected and signed by your employer, and every detail must be true. Misrepresentation on an immigration application can lead to a five-year ban.
