You must provide documents that verify your work experience and employment history when applying for a Canadian study permit. These support your professional background and financial stability - both important for your visa application.

Key documents include:

- Employment verification letters or experience certificates (on company letterhead, with job title, dates, responsibilities, and salary)
- Offer letters from current or previous employers
- Recent pay slips (last 3 - 6 months)
- Income Tax Returns (ITR) or Form 16
- Bank statements showing salary credits
- Relieving letters confirming employment period
- Resume/CV with education and work experience details

All documents should be in English or have certified translations. If your program requires an internship or co-op, you may also need a letter from your institution confirming this.
