Same employer, multiple countries: how to list continuous experience across job locations in your EE profile

Documents Needed

  • Employer experience/reference letter

    Requesting a single letter through internal HR systems that itemizes all locations and role details can support a split work-history entry.

Step-by-Step

For someone who has worked continuously for the same company (here, TCS) but across multiple countries via onshore deputations, group members advised on how to represent this in an Express Entry profile:

  1. Split your work experience into separate entries based on job location, even though it's the same employer, rather than listing it as one continuous block — this reflects where duties were actually performed, which matters for both experience calculations and immigration assessments.

  2. Request a detailed reference letter through your company's internal process that itemizes all the location and role details — this kind of letter can support the split entries with clear documentation.


This approach keeps your profile accurate about where the experience was gained, which is relevant for how different countries' experience gets weighed in the process.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Split continuous same-employer experience into separate entries by job location rather than one single block.
  • Tip: Request an internal reference letter that itemizes all locations and roles to support the split entries.
