Documents Needed

  • Paystubs

    Submit paystubs covering the period of Canadian experience you're claiming for the specific NOC.

  • Letter of Employment (LOE)

    Should confirm your role, duties, and dates of employment, matching the requirements listed for your specific province's program.

Step-by-Step

Each province runs its own PNP program, so start by reading the specific requirements for the stream you're applying under (e.g. Nova Scotia's NSpnp-EE stream) rather than assuming a generic document list applies everywhere.

  1. Gather paystubs covering your claimed period of Canadian work experience for the specific NOC you're applying under.

  2. Get a Letter of Employment (LOE) from your employer confirming your role, responsibilities, and employment dates, formatted to match what your specific province's program requires.

  3. Check your province's PNP page for any additional required documents — requirements vary by program, so confirm the full list before submitting.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Read your specific province's PNP program requirements before assembling your document package — they vary by province and stream.
  • Tip: Paystubs plus a detailed Letter of Employment covering your role, duties, and dates are commonly used to prove Canadian work experience for PNP.
