Hello Everyone,

I have a small question, can someone help me in this regard please,

In 2015, I moved to the USA on a student visa from India. Before coming to the US, I worked with a company for around 1 and half year back in India. When my visa got approved, I gave notice to my manager and they asked me to serve for 60 days in order to have my experience certificate.

At that time I couldn't work for 60 days as university classes were about to start in less than a month, hence I left company without taking experience certificate. But I have offer letter, payslips of all months I worked and bank statement of my salary (last 6 months of my salary statement, which were attested by bank manager).

As I do not have relieving letter and experience certificate, can I still use this work experience in claiming points for Express Entry? I can provide appointment letter, payslips and salary statements. Are there any other alternative document(s) do I need to provide for claiming points for this work experience?

You can get a reference letter signed from your old colleague on a plain paper. Mention about this on your LOE and this will be sufficient.

Hello @mr.preetsingh, thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate your response.

What all details should I mention in this “Reference Letter”? Do I need this reference letter get notarized from India?

I am sorry to ask, I don’t know what does a LOE means.

Can you please give me information about these. I will be very thankful to you. Thanks so much in advance.

Search for EE Completeness Check, and you will see Reference letter requirements.
LoE means letter of explaination.

Did you receive the visa using colleague's reference letter?
