For applicants wondering whether IRCC actually checks the accuracy of work experience claimed for CRS/Express Entry points:
- Yes, IRCC does verify claimed work experience. Group members pointed to a real rejection case where the refusal letter listed three separate reasons tied to three different claimed work experiences, and the letter explicitly stated the officer checked details about the employing organization.
- Verification can include confirming the employer/organization is legitimate, not just checking the Record of Employment (ROE) document itself — so claimed experience needs to hold up to scrutiny of the employer, duties, and dates together.
- Search the group's own post history for the specific rejection example referenced, since it lays out exactly what triggered the refusal and can help you sanity-check your own application before submitting.
Takeaway: don't assume ROEs or reference letters are a formality — make sure job titles, duties, and dates in your application precisely match your supporting documents and that the employer can be verified if contacted.
