[Vittorio]

Dear sir,

1. I cannot provide employment contracts but only the experience certificates and reference letters.

2. I am presently in London and can provide my transcript in university sealed envelopes but I am unable to provide the transcripts in university sealed envelopes from Pakistan.

3. In Pakistan many people have no birth certificates but they have their Identity cards with their birth date on it. will that be fine.

please advise..

Thanks

Dear Mohammad,

It is incumbent on all applicants to provide proof of their eligibility to the satisfaction of the visa officer. If the visa officer is not satisfied, the application will be refused.

For proof of work experience, detailed letters of reference are required. If you never had an employment contract, don't worry. But if you had a job description, include it. Most importantly, you must have performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupations for which you claim experience as set out in the description for each occupation in the National Occupational Classification(NOC) and you must have performed a substantial number of the main duties, including all of the essential duties, of the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC -- if your work experience is to count for points. If your documentation does not prove that you meet this requirement, you could be in trouble.

If you are concerned that you may not be able to provide adequate proof of work experience you may wish to add a statutory declaration stating that you have performed the actions and all of the essential duties for each occupation as described in the NOC for which you claim experience.

For proof of education, your university in Pakistan should be able to provide transcripts in a sealed envelope to you or directly to the immigration office processing your case(provided the file number accompanies the transcripts). Contact the registrar of the university in question for instructions. This is a standard practice with most universities. If you still cannot obtain the transcripts in a sealed envelope, write a letter to the immigration office explaining why and providing proof of your inability to obtain the sealed transcripts(proof could be in the form of a rejection letter from the university or a printout from their website if this issue is addressed there).

Provide photocopies of identification cards, Tazkira or Shinakhti Pass, with a certified translation in English or French. Original birth certificates are also required with certified translations in English or French. A birth certificate is normally acceptable if registration was made shortly after the birth. The birth certificate must bear the name of the person whose birth it records, and must have been issued by an official responsible for the registration of births in the municipality or district in which the birth took place.
