  1. Personal Information: The certificate should include the full name of the employee, their date of birth, and their passport or identification number.
  2. Employer Information: Include the name of the employer or company, their contact information (address, phone number, email), and the official company stamp or seal if applicable.
  3. Employment Dates: Clearly state the start and end dates of the employment period. This helps establish the duration of the work experience.
  4. Job Title and Duties: Provide the job title or position held by the employee and a detailed description of the duties and responsibilities performed during the employment. This information helps assess the relevance of the work experience to the immigration program.
  5. Work Hours: Specify the number of hours worked per week or the average weekly work schedule.
  6. Salary and Compensation: Include information about the salary or wages earned by the employee, as well as any additional benefits or compensation received.

  8. Company Letterhead: It is recommended to have the work experience certificate printed on the official letterhead of the employer or company. This adds credibility to the document.
  9. Translation: If the work experience certificate is not in English or French, it should be accompanied by an official translation by a certified translator.
