Should an old employer name be removed from every record?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

No. Explain genuine historical names and identify the actual proposed employer. Existing records should not be altered to imply a history that did not occur.

Connect names to the real arrangement

Use appropriate genuine evidence of the relationship or change. A matching logo is not itself proof that entities are legally the same employer.

The degree parchment and an official transcript showing the field of study, together with proof of Canadian or Mexican citizenship and the employer's support letter naming the listed profession and describing the duties. An employer letter that describes professional planning duties, a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree with a reliable evaluation if it was issued outside Canada, Mexico or the United States, and proof of Canadian citizenship. The letter should state the US or foreign employer, identify the U.S. entity for which the professional activity will be performed, and give the professional duties, compensation, anticipated duration, and reason unrelated departmental material appears in the larger document. The employer's letter carries the case: it should identify the employer, state that the position is an Engineer position, describe the engineering duties in concrete terms, give the salary, state the intended period of up to three years and confirm the stay is temporary.
