What should I gather before a consultation about this offer?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

The offer letter, any draft duty description, the compensation plan including commission structure, the job posting as it was advertised, and an organizational chart or reporting description. Add any email in which the hiring manager described the day-to-day work.

Bring the commercial terms, not only the letter

The compensation plan is often the most revealing document in a mixed offer, because it states what the employer will actually measure. A posting written to attract candidates may also describe the role more frankly than a letter drafted with an application in mind. Providing both, along with the reporting structure, lets counsel see the position as the employer designed it rather than as it has been summarized.

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. The offer letter on institutional letterhead naming the accredited college, the department, the course level, the dates and the pay, together with the degree itself. A credential evaluation from a recognised service states what the foreign qualification is equivalent to in United States terms, and a certified translation renders the parchment and transcript in full, with the translator's attestation of competence and completeness attached.
