Documents Needed

  • Appointment letter

    Confirms your role and start date with the employer.

  • Pay slips / bank statements

    Show salary payments as supporting evidence of active employment.

  • Resignation letter

    Documents end of employment, if applicable.

  • NOC duty-matching write-up

    One consolidated document listing your duties/responsibilities for each employer, matched against the official IRCC NOC description for your code, converted to PDF.

Step-by-Step

When Nova Scotia's Express Entry stream asks for "evidence of work experience matching NOC 2016," the group's advice was to combine standard employment proof with an explicit NOC duty match-up document.

What group members advised:
  1. Upload standard employment evidence: appointment/offer letter, pay slips or bank statements showing salary credits, and a resignation letter if that period of employment has ended.

  2. Create a dedicated duty-matching document. Write a document (in Word, then convert to PDF) that lays out your actual job duties and shows how they align with the official NOC description published on the IRCC website for your specific code.

  3. If you have multiple employers, consolidate this into one file covering the duties and responsibilities from all relevant employers, rather than submitting separate scattered documents.


Because province-specific document checklists can be updated, always cross-check the current Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) document requirements on their official website before finalizing your submission.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Write a dedicated document matching your job duties to the official NOC description, not just submit generic employment letters.
  • Tip: Consolidate evidence from multiple employers into a single, well-organized PDF rather than several scattered files.
