The problem is that they will not provide me with more detailed one neither will they fix the spelling of my name. They said it gets pulled out of the system automatically and the system has character limits so we can not fix it for you. I went to HR manager, the department manager, and I have emails from them indicating it is a system issue and they can not fix it. My middle name is Ali Mohammed but spelled as AliMo on the reference letter. I have all paystubs and everything with the correct spelling but the reference letter does not have it. Do you have any advice for me? Is this a good enough letter for NOC 2282? They are refusing to provide more detailed letter. Your advice is appreciated.


Thank you

Sounds like your company sucks to be honest.

But if you have that and the emails showing the issue you should be able to add a letter of explanation to the application and it should be fine. They can phone the company to confirm it so you aren't faking anything here.

Thank you for your reply . Yes trust me it sucks big time. But oh well I had to stick with them so I can get the work experience. I have the email from them refusing to fix the issue. Actually I have a letter from the HR manager, issued after 2 months from joining the company with the correct spelling of my name. Singed by the HR manger too. But now, I have no idea what changed, they are being really stubborn. I have her Business card and the Account manager said they can call her if they need calcification. Do you think it is sufficient enough for NOC 2282? I mean I know what I do in this position is exactly what 2282 agents do but in the eyes of the immigration office, it is all about the reference letter you provide.

Sorry can't help on the NOC question... if the letter matches the needs of 2282 I can't see why it wouldn't be sufficient

Do you mean they are asking whom to address it to? They can address it to " to whom it may concern" or to " Canada Immigration" . It really does not matter at all as long as your reference letter follows CIC requirements
