This paper evidence can include a letter from the employer that lists the job duties that will be performed by the worker.
Employer’s address and the employer’s name
The immigration officer should know where the sponsoring employer’s business is located. In order to use the ETA’s database to find the employee’s sponsor, it is important that the sponsor will give the officer the employer’s full name, address, telephone number and email address.

If you submit an application on time, you should expect to receive an email notification and a call. The call will inform you that your application has been received, and you will be instructed to proceed with the visa interview.
