Subject: College work experience
 
Back in 1998/1999 I had worked as Math Tutor in college in US.

I have W2 forms indicating gross of about $1500

and I have about 10 pay stubs showing payrate of $5.75, $6, $7 per hours. when I calculate approx hours it come to be about 1.5 months..

but I don´t have any documents to show job descriptions etc. only W2 and paystubs.

I don´t think it´s practical to goto college to get letters etc..
is there anyway to salvage this?

i think the jury is still out regarding college work experience. i´m using my full time paid post grad research work as the bulk of my experience so i´m pretty sure i´ll have to go to an interview..or i´ll just be rejected. i´m hoping its the former.

there are two components to using college work experience as immigration work experience: 1. it has to be paid; 2. it has to fall under the occupational descriptions (i.e. those 4 digit numbers on CIC website).

you obviously satisfied criteria 1. essentially, you´d have to prove that the duties you performed fall under the occupational classes; i.e. show that it was equivalent to the duties performed by someone employed under one of the 4 digit occupations. to do this, you would undoubtedly have to go to the professor you were TA for and ask him to write a letter describing you job duties. not a fun task, i know, i´ve been there.

one other thing might help is if you could prove that your position was post grad. i´m 75% sure that this is important and goes a long way in proving that the experience qualifies.
