For Express Entry applicants with foreign work experience wondering whether they need every pay stub from their employers for all 3 years:
- You don't need to submit every single pay stub. A small sample — just a couple — is generally enough alongside your experience letter.
- Try to spread the pay stubs across the full period rather than clustering them. Aim to have samples that cover different points across the 3 years, rather than only from the most recent months, so your documentation reflects continuous employment throughout.
- Always include the experience letter itself. Pay stubs supplement the experience letter; they aren't a replacement for it.
In short: ask your employer(s) for a handful of pay stubs spaced out across the 3-year period, not the complete set, and pair them with the formal experience letter.
