You should be ok if you provide all the details they request in 2 letters. i did the same because HR wouldn't provide the requested format. even if the job details letter is from your manager, you can have HR stamp it, that will make things a lot easier.
My sample experienced letter (pls review)
- Thread starter riju16
- Start date
Sorry I did not mean to get you anxious but those are just my 2 cents. I do not do a lot of case studies to be able to share successfully tried routes.
Like I mentioned before, I attached all of my past 1 year payslips to substantiate my work history although they did not ask for it. You don't need to provide any other certificate.
ok i ll just mention it all in one just to be hassle free..thanks also another query(could be asked in a separate post anyway), i have seemed to lost few of my documents of my previous company(including offer letter and experienced letter(one you get after you quit). So if i mention all information like salaries, roles and responsibilties and etc in my ONE reference letter than do i still need to provide my offer letter and experienced certificate. Thanks
haha no issue mate, so basically just to sum it up. I will have ONE reference letter mentioning everything and I will include my bank statements(as i dont have salary slips) as proof of salary and thats pretty much it?? Right.
If you are happy to take my suggestion-
The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:
- 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;
If this letter cannot be provided then you can have a letter written on a plain paper which is signed by your supervisor and it should be notarised. In that case you have to prove that you have tried to obtain a letter form your HR but it was denied and also you have to submit other documents such as payslips, tax return, appointment letter etc. You have to explain the whole situation in a Letter of Explanation.
If you do not want to go through all these hassles then try to get One official experience/reference letter from HR comprising all IRCC requirements.
Hope it helps. Good Luck!
If you don't have payslips or can't retrieve from the system, you can try asking your HR. It is not required to attached payslips anyway, I just did that for my own peace of mind. If that is the case, it will be just one reference letter.
Hi,
I have question regarding how to refer to the other documents included in the file. i.e) I have an LOE as the first page where I mention the list of documents that I am including and why for each job experience entry. For example, I am including salary slips because salary amount is not mentioned in the reference letter. How do you communicate to the IRCC office that you have included the salary slips. Should I say that "I have attached salary slips because..." mainly I do not want them to miss out on any of the documents while scrolling so I want to list them out in the covering LOE. Would appreciate your inputs on this. Thank you!
Yes, you can include a covering letter to explain that. Of course not everybody will be able to get their respective HRs to write a letter exactly the way IRCC specified. In case there is any discrepancy with the format, the best you can do is to explain the situation and add an alternative form of proof which in your case is attaching salary slips as your salary is not mentioned in your reference letter.
In fact, I have provided a cover letter under each category except medical examination. It is easier to explain that way instead of putting it all in one huge LoE.
Thank you so much for your reply. I am kind of worried about what is the correct way to refer to the additional documents merged into the same file. For example, should I say "I have attached the salary slip"? or should I say "I have enclosed the salary slip in this file"? Please advice, I know it might seem like a silly question but I want to make sure there is no ambiguity in my LOE. Thank you!
I understand your concern. You can put the heading as "Cover Letter" in bold and then start off with "I, ABC (Primary Applicant of Application No. E000XX...), have prepared this letter to explain....". Either of the statements that you mentioned are fine. Goodluck!
