Read the general professional work overview
When an opportunity is introduced through a supplier, recruiter, or personal contact rather than a direct employer relationship, rebuild the file from primary documents: the employer's own offer, the applicant's citizenship and credential records, and a duty description confirmed directly with the hiring company rather than passed along secondhand.
Ask the employer for its own written account
Hypothetical example: a Selkirk applicant is told about an opportunity by a business contact who is not part of the hiring company. Request the employer's own offer letter and duty description directly, since the contact's summary cannot substitute for the employer's confirmation of the position.
Confirm the profession match with the actual hiring company
Provide the hiring company with the specific listed profession's criteria and ask it to confirm the position against that standard directly, rather than relying on an intermediary's assumption about which profession applies.
Build the file around confirmed, not assumed, facts
Assemble citizenship documents, credential records, and the employer's direct confirmation of duties, pay and period into one file, and flag anything still resting on a secondhand account until it can be verified directly.
