Each job is one record at Profile → Work Experience. The form has four sections — Location, Role, Terms, and Pay — and the country you pick first decides which fields the rest of the form asks for.

Jobs are shown as a timeline, newest start date first, grouped under the year each job started. The line under the Work Experience heading reads X years · Y Canadian · Z foreign.

A row can carry one status chip:

ChipMeans
Missing countryThe job has no country. Older records predate the requirement; edit the job to add one.
Incomplete datesA past job with no end date, or no start date.
Checking NOC fit…An employment letter check is running on NOC Intelligence.
NOC fit · FailThe last letter check did not pass on the letter, the NOC, or both.
NOC fit · StaleThe job’s details, such as its NOC, changed after the last letter check.
NOC fit · RetryThe last letter check could not run.

The years line adds each counted job’s eligible days, not the raw span. A job is left out when:

ConditionApplies to

Work during full-time study is onCanadian work

These are Lexpoint’s display rules for the numbers on this page. Whether a job counts toward a program is IRCC’s and the provinces’ to decide — see immigratic.com or book a consultation.

For Canadian work with a NOC, the section loads a Job Bank wage band for the place. It plots your rate against up to four markers — Provincial floor, Low, Median, and High — and marks each one Met or Below.

If your employer uses Lexpoint for its workforce, a job they confirm appears in your list before it is on your profile. It carries a Workforce marker and an Action required chip. A job that has not started yet shows Starts {date} instead of the chip.

  1. Select the row, or choose Add to work history from More actions.
  2. Check What they confirmed — title, NOC, dates, hours, pay, employer, and location.
  3. If you already have a job at that employer, choose it under Apply to, or Keep as a new job.
  4. Turn on This was during full-time study if it applies.
  5. Select Add to work history (new job) or Update this job (replaces the chosen job).

Once added, the job keeps the Workforce marker and is locked. The form says These terms come from {employer}. Title, dates, hours, pay, location, and job conditions stay with them. You can still say if this was during full-time study. The job cannot be deleted from your profile.

  1. Open Profile → Work Experience.
  2. Select Add Work Experience.
  3. Work through Location, Role, Terms, and Pay with Continue. Save on the last section adds the job.
  4. To change a job, choose Edit from its More actions menu. When editing, Save & Continue saves each section as you go.

Saving changes shows Work experience updated! Your Immireport will refresh within 24 hours. Your report is not recalculated at the moment you save — see How your profile is used.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Lexpoint insist I pick my city from a list?

For Canadian work the city must come from Lexpoint's Canadian locations list, because the city selects the wage benchmark and sets the province. A typed city that is not on the list is rejected.

Why is hourly wage required for one job and not another?

Hourly pay rate is asked only for work in Canada. For any other country the Pay section reads "Hourly wage is only required for Canadian work experience."

Why do my total years not match the dates I entered?

The years line under the heading adds up only the jobs Lexpoint counts, using the eligible days calculated for each job rather than the raw date range. Older, TEER 4 and 5, self-employed, and during-study work can be left out. The rows themselves do not show the reason.

Why can I not edit a job my employer confirmed?

Title, dates, hours, pay, location, and job conditions on that job come from your employer's record. Only "Work during full-time study" stays yours to change, and the job cannot be deleted from your profile.
