Document background
The Simple Work Experience Letter is a fundamental employment document widely used across Canadian jurisdictions to provide formal verification of an individual's employment history. This document is typically requested when an employee or former employee needs to demonstrate their professional experience for purposes such as job applications, immigration procedures, academic admissions, or professional accreditation. The letter must comply with Canadian federal and provincial employment standards, privacy laws (PIPEDA), and maintain professional documentation practices. It includes essential information such as employment dates, positions held, and primary responsibilities while protecting sensitive personal and corporate information. The document serves as an official record that can be verified by third parties and should be issued on company letterhead with proper authorization.
