Do we need to put all the designations in the employment reference letter?

I had 4 designations in last 6 years. It was like

Role 1- Designation 1, (2011 - 2013)
Role 1 - Designation 2, (2013 - 2013)
Role 2 - Designation 3, (2013-2015)
Role 2 - Designation 4, (2015 - curr)

In my letter I have put following only
Role 1, Designation 1, (2011 - 2013)
Role 2, Designation 4, (2013 - curr)

I did so, because responsibilities were same in designation 1 and 2, and in designation 3 and 4.

Plz advice, if I need to change it and include all the designations.

Yes in reference/experience letter we do need to put all designations held in the company. You need to put current or last designation job duties and other details mentioned below. However, few candidates stated that they have put responsibilities separately under every designation. you can choose whichever convenient for you but you must state all positions held while employed at the company.

Here are the IRCC requirements for letter-

a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
  • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
  • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits;
Hope it helps. Good Luck!

Hey Ishq...if u could plz help me with this ...I am worried as my NOC code is challenged by the Case officer


I am into software development industry. Plz advice which is the right NOC code for me. I am really confused as it matches a little with a few NOC code, but does not match perfectly or highly with any once NOC code.

Following are my duties:

1. Business requirement gathering
2. Documenting Use Cases and user stories
3. Create Business process models
4. Estimating size and effort of developing any software module
5. Create product backlog - prioritizing the software features to be developed
6. Perform functional testing, integration testing

I am not writing here the NOC codes I am confused between, to get an unbiased view.

Thanks in advance!
