Should the employer letter combine every possible payment into one salary?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

It should accurately explain remuneration. Conditional, one-time and recurring amounts should not be presented as identical guaranteed pay.

Reconcile the offer and the summary

Keep the actual bonus conditions and any repayment terms available. Resolve discrepancies instead of selecting the largest possible figure for the letter.

Collect the acquisition or merger announcement, an updated organizational chart, any new employment agreement or offer letter, and a written description of your current duties from your direct supervisor. Proof of Canadian citizenship, the credential the listing names, the regulator’s confirmation where a licence is relied on, and an employer letter that identifies the listed profession and the professional duties. At minimum, a support letter describing the position as it now stands: the professional title, the specific duties, the reporting relationship, the employer entity, and the expected duration. TN evidence is an employer letter or contract; it should identify the prearranged professional activity, duration, compensation, and duties without adding facts the underlying records cannot support. Make a document index that states what each item proves: passport for nationality, degree or licence for the listed qualification, employer letter for duties and temporary need, and contracts for the real work arrangement. The point of alignment is the description of duties: the letter should not describe work the licence does not yet permit, and any staged arrangement should be described accurately with the dates on which each stage begins.
